A popular snack item of Udupi and Mangalore region. It is also refered to as Mangalore bajji in other regions. This rules most of the small hotels and has a prominent place in star hotels too. ‘Nale raje Goli baje’ was the favourite line during the school days 😀 This should be made and had quickly as it tastes best when piping hot. It is a under 30min snack.
