Ingredients

100 grams gram flour

2 large sized onions finely dhopped

1 teaspoon red chilli powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder(optional)

1/2 teaspoon black onion seeds(potional)

handfull finely chopped fresh corriander leaves

1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt/ to taste

100 ml of water

200 ml of cooking oil to fry

Directions

mix the gram flour,onions,chilli powder,turmeric,salt,corriander leaves and onion seeds well.

add water to it,mixing it constantly, to make it into a batter of dropping consistency

heat oil in a wok

drop the batter in the oil using a teaspoon,into small balls

deep fry till golden brown in colour on a medium flame

pat the fried bhajis with a kitchen towel to soak excess oil

serve hot with salad and tomato ketchup.

TIPS:

the gram flour shud be enough to coat all the onions well. If ur onion pieces start separating in the oil....that means,ur batter needs some more gram flour.

fry the bhajis immediately after the batter is prepared. If the batter is left to stand for long,the onions give out moisture making the batter very liquid, and frying very difficult.

CanI substitude another flour. I've never seem gram flour and would really like to try this recipe.

Hey sheba.gram flour is a very popular ingredient found in indian stores....if u visit calgary,u might b lucky to find some.if not,try 3 portions of cornmeal with one portion of rice flour......have never tried this myself so can assure u that it will turn out well...but this is the closest substitute i can think of....good luck.do give me ur feedback after uve tried it.

This sounds really yummy!
Is this recipe similar for "chili bites" as we call them in South Africa? that would be something Id love to make.

Also "samoosas" are divine (veg ones and beef or chicken ones, not pork), if you have a recipe for those id be very happy!

Thanks for sharing this.
