Pechi Bhaja/Bara - Shredded Coconut and Chickpea Flour Cutlets

PECHI Bhaja - This recipe was passed on to my mother by her mother- in- law. It is mostly made in Berhampur; southern part of Odisha. It is usually served as a side dish along with Rice and lentil curry. Sharing this easy dish with all of you. I have been wanting to do this for a long time ....today I finally get to share it.
