Kitchen Masti Points.

1. See to it that the batter is thick.
2. Consumption of oil will be more if the batter is too watery.
3. In case the batter turns out to be watery, add some more maida.
4. Chopped onions can be added for a unique taste but the authentic recipe is void of onions.
5. Adding butter milk over curds is ideal for the recipe, but in inevitable conditions you can add curd.
6. See to it that the curd is not too sour.
7. Coconut chutney is an ideal chutney along with this goli baje for an awesome taste.
