I love Indian food, especially the appetizers! You can adjust the spice to suit your taste, I make half milder for the kids then add a little extra spice for us. Delicious!

Ingredients

20 mins
8 servings
  1. 140 gramsgram / chickpea flour
  2. 1/2 tspbaking soda / bicarb of soda
  3. 2large onions, finely sliced
  4. 3 tbspfresh coriander, finely chopped
  5. 1 tspground cumin
  6. 1/2 tspchilli powder
  7. 1/2 tspground fenugreek
  8. 1/2 tspground turmeric
  9. 1/2 tspsalt

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Mix the flour, onions, baking soda, coriander, salt and spices together in a bowl

  2. 2

    Add 7 tbsp of water to make the mixture bind together. If you need more, add it but don't make it too wet, you shouldn't need more than 9

  3. 3

    Heat 2 - 3 inches of oil in a pan until around 180C/350F. It's the right temperature if you can drop a piece of cubed bread in and it toasts in 15 seconds

  4. 4

    Mould handfuls of the mixture into balls. Using a slotted spoon, place them into the oil. Don't overcrowd the pan, fry in 2 batches

  5. 5

    Fry for 10 seconds then flip over and fry 10 seconds on the other side. They should be golden brown

  6. 6

    Remove and let drain on kitchen towel. Keep going until all the bhajis are fried off

  7. 7

    Cover with foil to keep warm and serve with mango chutney or a raita. I have a recipe for dairy-free raita posted with my pakoras recipe linked below

These are one of the most popular starters in restraunts here in England. Of any cusine. A blend of 1/3 rice flour to 2/3 gram really gives you that crispy, crunchy outer shell. Try it in your next batch!
