Ingredients
2
onions
large ones! Red or white
50
g
fresh coriander
finely chopped
2
tsp
fresh ginger
grated
1
tsp
chaat masala
1
tbsp
dried fenugreek leaves
2
tsp
ground coriander
½
tsp
salt
½
tsp
chilli powder
100
g
gram flour
100
ml
sparkling water
Oil
to fry
Instructions
Slice the onions thinly - a mandolin works really well for this
Pour about 1 inch of oil in a large pan (a wok is a good option) - heat
Combine the fresh coriander, grated ginger, chaat masala, dried fenugreek, ground coriander, salt, chilli and gram flour in a bowl - mix
Slowly add the water, whisking as you go to ensure a smooth batter
Add the mixture a spoonful at a time to the onions - you want to add just enough to bind the onions
Add a little of the batter to the oil to check it is hot enough
Create the golf ball size bhajis - drop into the oil and cook for about 90 seconds. They need to be light brown in colour
Remove with a slotted spoon and pop in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest
Notes
This is a great recipe to cook in advance and then pop in the oven to heat through
Try adding chopped spinach to the mixture or some peas or sweetcorn
