Makes 6 Bhajis
Ingredients
Vegetable Oil
7 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp onion granules
1 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp chilli powder
2 white onions (medium/large in size)
Preparation Method
Slice the onion(s) into thin strips (as thin as possible).
In a bowl combine the flour and spices. Add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until a thick batter is formed (should be ‘gloopy’ and just dribble off the back of a spoon)
Add the sliced onions into the batter and mix thoroughly to coat each piece.
Pour the oil into a deep-frying pan, to cover the bottom of the pan by about 1 inch.
Heat oil to 190C (test by dropping a little bit of the batter into the oil – it should rise to the top and bubble).
Take a heaped tbsp of the bhaji mix and drop it into the oil, one at a time, to form the bhajis.
Cook each bhaji for 2 minutes on each side
Place the bhajis on some kitchen roll to drain off any excess oil.
