Onion Bhaji

Chilli bites made with onion and chickpea flour.

Ingredients:

• 2 large onions, sliced thinly

• 1 small potato sliced thin

• 200 g chickpea flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 2 tablespoons chives,thyme or herbs

• 1 teaspoon turmeric

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1⁄2 teaspoon chilli powder

• 2 teaspoon cumin seeds

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger

• 100 ml water

• 750 ml vegetable oil

Directions: Put the vegetable oil into a large deep pan and heat over a medium high heat.

Make the batter: In a large bowl, add the chickpea flour, baking powder, turmeric, black pepper, herbs, ginger, chilli powder, cumin, salt and the water. Mix together well and then add the sliced onion & potatoes through until well coated.

Check the temperature of the oil by dropping a small cube of bread in - it should brown fairly slowly - not burn or go dark brown straight away. Carefully drop spoons of the bhaji batter in to the oil, do NOT overcrowd as they will stick together. Fry them in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes until they are a golden brown and crispy, turning once. Remove them with a slotted spoon and allow them to drain on a paper covered plate. Repeat until all the bhaji batter is finished and they are all cooked. Serve.

Tip: Add water sparingly.The batter should be dry to get crisp bites.
