onion bhajis Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    Oh, I had the most fabulous bhajis when I was in England but haven't been able to get ones like them here. I am delighted that you have posted this. I will try them! A trip India Emporium for supplies is in my future!
    Thanks so much!!!
