Panikoorka Karpooravalli Bhajji / Spanish Thyme fritter


Panikoorka in Malayalam, Karpooravalli in Sanskrit has the scientific name : Plectranthus amboinicus.

This leaf is a great medicine for mild cold / cough and fever. It's juice is administered to (even) new born babies when they have phlegm in their system.

I never knew Bhajji could be made with these leaves.
Thanks to my aunt Mrs. Radha Sreeram for telling me that it was / can be done.

I got a potted plant from my uncle, Mr.Ananthakrishnan.

You can find the quantity of ingredients and basic recipe of Bhajji here.
Batter is made with Besan / chickpea flour, rice four, salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder, dosa batter (optional) & asafoetida powder.
Oil for deep frying.

Enjoy as a snack with tea, or with your dal-chawal.
