Goli Baje

Mangalore every restaurant will have it as a default snack, freshly made and served during evening tea time. 'Goli' means round shape and 'Baje' means deep fried in oil. Its slighty crispy outside and soft inside, name itself is so attractive, kids will surely love it. Being a Mangalorean, loved to eat it when my mother used to make it as a evening snack. Me and my brother named it as 'Amoeba' because of it shape. Its difficut to get a perfect shape of this baje, shape differ from one another as they puff up when deep fried. It was fun making an eating during childhood.
