Vickys Onion Bhajis

• 140 grams gram / chickpea flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda / bicarb of soda
• 2 large onions, finely sliced
• 3 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp ground fenugreek
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 7 - 9 tbsp cold water

1. Mix the flour, onions, baking soda, coriander, salt and spices together in a bowl
2. Add 7 tbsp of water to make the mixture bind together.
3. If you need more, add it but don't make it too wet, you shouldn't need more than 9
4. Heat 2 - 3 inches of oil in a pan until around 180C/350F.
5. It's the right temperature if you can drop a piece of cubed bread in and it toasts in 15 seconds
6. Mould handfuls of the mixture into balls.
7. Using a slotted spoon, place them into the oil.
8. Don't overcrowd the pan, fry in 2 batches
9. Fry for 10 seconds then flip over and fry 10 seconds on the other side.
10. They should be golden brown
11. Remove and let drain on kitchen towel.
12. Keep going until all the bhajis are fried off
13. Cover with foil to keep warm and serve with mango chutney or a raita.
14. I have a recipe for dairy-free raita posted with my pakoras recipe linked below
