INSTRUCTIONS
- Soak the onion slices in a large volume of cold water.
- Mix the chickpea flour and yeast in a bowl and sieve over a bowl, then add the chili powder, turmeric, chopped green hot pepper, garlic, and salt.
- Gradually add cold water (between ⅓ cup / 80 ml and ½ cup / 125 ml) until a thick paste is obtained. Set aside.
- Drain the onion well and mix with the batter.
- Heat about 3 inches (7 cm) of oil in a wok or deep frying pan to a temperature of 350 F (170°C).
- Pour a few tablespoons of the bhajji batter into the hot oil (only a few at a time), and fry for a few minutes, turning them once, until they are evenly browned and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the bhajji from the oil with a skimmer and drain on paper towel.
- Sprinkle them with a little salt and serve them hot with raita sauce.
Raita sauce
- Peel and seed the cucumber and grate it in a colander over a bowl.
