Ingredients
- 2 onions Thinly sliced
- 150 g chickpea flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp salt
- Coriander Chopped
- water As needed
- oil For frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking powder, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.
- Add the thinly sliced onions to the dry mixture. Mix well, ensuring the onions are coated evenly with the flour and spices.
- Gradually add water to the mixture while stirring. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Start with about 1/2 cup of water and adjust as needed.
- Add the chopped coriander leaves to the batter and mix again.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan for frying. The oil should be around 170°C (340°F).
- Using a spoon or your hands, drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the bhajis for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Make sure to flip them halfway through for even frying.
- Once the bhajis are cooked, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the onion bhajis hot with your favourite dipping sauce, such as mint chutney or tamarind sauce.

Notes
