Step 5: In a mixing bowl, add besan flour and keep adding the water till it comes to dosa batter consistency. Make sure that there are no lumps formed in the batter, add carom seeds, a pinch of cooking soda and required salt.
Note:
Adding more cooking soda will absorb more oil. For crispy bajji add 1 or 2 tbsp rice flour to the batter

Step 6: The chilly should be well coated with the batter so the batter should be slightly thick. 
Note: Very thick batter gives us hard bajji

For frying bajjis: Pre-heat oil. To check the heat of the oil, put a pinch of batter and if it rises immediately, it means oil is ready. 

Step 7: In medium flame, take a stuffed chilly and dip in the batter holding its stem
