I experimented to find the best onion bhajia recipe and this combination is just delicious! I've made it so many times as it's so easy and my family just loves them! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
Onion Bhajia Recipe Prep Time: 20 minutes (Approx)
Makes 15-20 Onions Bhajias
INGREDIENTS:
1 Large Onion (about 220g), Sliced Fairly Thin
1/2 Cup (60g) Chickpea Flour
2 TBSP Coarse Semolina
2 tsp Rice Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Coriander-Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chilis Powder
Pinch of Garam Masala (optional)
2/3 Cup (150ml) Cold Tap Water
2 TBPS Chopped Coriander
1-2 tsp Hot Oil From Frying
Oil for Deep Frying
METHOD:
Slice the onion into fairly thin slices. If the length is too long, cut it in half.
Make the batter by mixing all the ingredients in a large bowl. Let it sit for a minute.
Meanwhile, heat up the oil in a pot and get a tray ready lined with newspaper and paper towels.
Then add the sliced onions to the batter. Make sure the consistency is as you like it. I like my batter thin so it just coats my onions.
Add 1-2 tsp hot oil to the batter & onion mix and mix with a spoon.
Before frying, make sure the oil is quite hot, otherwise the onion bhajias may become greasy.
Place small amounts (about 1 TBSP) of the onion mix into the hot oil and fry until nice and crisp. Make sure you clump the onions together when dropping them into the oil.
Remove to a tray lined with paper towels.
Enjoy hot with fresh tomato chutney.
Note: Save the oil in a container after sieving it. You'll want to make these again and can use this same oil for them!
