Onion
Bhaji
Ingredients
* Onion
* Gram Flour or chick
pea flour
* Salt
* Coriander leaves
(optional)
* Oil for deep frying
Method
Chop the onions into thin and long lengths of
onions. Spread the chopped onions into a mixing bowl and sprinkle salt, black
pepper, ginger powder, garlic powder, chili powder, baking powder over the
chopped onions to just cover the top layer of the onions. Finally once all the
ingredients are added to the bowl cover it all with GRAM FLOUR also known as
CHICK PEAS FLOUR.
Now add some oil into a frying pan. Switch on
the burner / electric plate to heat the oil.
While the oil is getting heated mix all the
ingredients well to cover all the onions in the mixing blow with all the
ingredients you had put into it. Add water to form a light batter. The mixture
should not be watery or else the onions will not stick together. If you think
there is too much water add some more gram flour.
Once the oil is heated and you have mixed the
onions with all the spices and gram flour batter, start to take small quantity
in between your fingers and thumb to make small balls. Don’t worry about the
shape. Slowly put the balls into the hot oil and start frying the mixture until
golden brown.
Serve with a touch of mint sauce, Tamarind
& Date chutney or with chili sauce.
Warning: Do not touch the oil with your
fingers or you will burn them. Alternatively use a table spoon.
Note: 2 medium size onions shall make
around 10 onion bhaji’s. If cooking for a large group, work in small quantities
of maximum 10 onions to have a right mixture and taste.
If
you do not like chopping the onion and going through the hassle of making the
mix then just buy the ready ONION BHAJI MIX OF
