Onion Bhaji

Recipe taken from Good to Know - Onion Bhaji

Ingredients

• 6 level tbsp plain flour
• 1 level tsp turmeric
• 1 level tsp ground cumin
• 1 level tsp garam masala
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 med onions, peeled and sliced
• Raita (minty yogurt), to serve, optional
• Deep-frying pan, with oil

Method

• Heat the oil in the deep-frying pan to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.

• Mix the flour, spices and salt together in a bowl and add 3-4 tbsp water, to make a stiff batter. Stir the onions into the batter, to coat.

• Add a spoonful of the onion mixture to the pan. When it rises to the surface, add the next spoonful. Continue doing this until the pan is full. Cook for 3-4 mins until the bhajis are cooked, turning them over halfway through. Remove from the pan and drain them on absorbent kitchen paper.

• Cook the remainder of the onion mixture. The onion bhaji may be served immediately or reheated on a baking sheet in a hot oven for a few mins. Serve with raita, if you like.
