Meaning and background
The story behind Bajji
Bajji is a South Indian snack name: slices of vegetables are dipped in spiced gram-flour batter and fried until crisp. In many English-language recipes, bajji is explained simply as a fritter. The culinary reference is real, although the precise language route into this spelling needs further specialist verification. As a pet name, it is especially recognisable to people who know the food, rather than a traditional personal name.
