Indian Bajji or Fries usually use Besan Flour as the major ingredient. This recipe is slightly different from other Bajjis, since it uses wheat flour as the main ingredient.

Sambar Powder is a mixture of several spices like turmeric, coriander etc. You can get it in supermarket or get the recipe online if you want a homemade one.

Ingredients:

• Wheat Flour - 2 cups
• Sambar Powder (Indian Curry Powder) - 7 tablespoons
• Asafoetida Powder - 2 teaspoons
• Onion - 1 (big piece)
• Salt - 3 tablespoons
• Oil - as required
