Title: Good Onion bhaji recipe
Post by: peterandjen on March 15, 2010, 11:05 PM
Its fairly simple and makes a fine Bhaji:-

serves 2
1 spanish onion finely sliced
50g chick pea flour/gram flour
0.5tsp ground cumin
0.5tsp ground corriander
0.25tsp turmeric
pinch of cayenne pepper
0.25tsp baking powder(leave out if you suffer from heart-burn)
15g fresh chopped corriander
0.5tsp salt

Mix all ingrediants together in a bowl and place in fridge for half an hour.
Remove from fridge, shape into balls and throw gently in a deep fat fryer until golden brown
Remove and drain.
Scoff.
Well worth trying and it really is good.

Nope no egg/spud or panch phoran and definately no sugar. Just a simple and clean tasting onion bhaji.

I personally don't have a problem with adding egg and/or sugar; it's adding potato that bothers me the most...but I'm just repeating myself... :P

Adding panch phoran is...interesting...
