Description
Probably one the most addicting appetizers I can think of. There is nothing quite like crispy onion bhajis.
Ingredients
- 250 grams Chickpea Flour (gram Flour)
- 275 milliliters Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- ½ teaspoons Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 1-½ teaspoon Turmeric
- 500 grams Onions, Peeled And Sliced
- 2 liters Vegetable Oil, Or As Needed For Deep Frying
- 20 grams Fresh Coriander O Cilantro, For Garnish (optional)
Preparation
Whisk chickpea flour, water, salt, chilli powder, cumin, garam masala and turmeric in a large bowl until batter is smooth. Add sliced onions to batter and stir through until well coated.
Add enough oil to a pot for deep frying and preheat over medium-high heat. Once you can add a bit of onion to the oil and it floats and bubbles, the oil is ready for frying.
Use a pair of tongs to carefully add the battered onions 1 tablespoon at a time, making sure you don’t overcrowd the pot. Fry onion bhajis for about 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp.
Use another pair of tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the fried onion bhajis onto kitchen paper to drain. Garnish with coriander if you want and serve.
