- As the oil heats up, slice all the eggs in half.
- Use a wooden spoon to place each slice of egg into the bowl of batter at a time (cut side up). Scoop up batter from the bowl and cover the top of the egg slice. Scoop the batter-coated egg slice. ensure that it is coated on all sides.
- Gently lower each coated egg-slice into the hot oil (cut side up). Fry for a minute or two, turning over the bajji half way through, till they are golden brown and the batter is cooked all over (no more wet traces) .
