Topic: Onion Bhaji Group Test

[chriswg]

Next month will be Onion Bhaji's in the group test. So far we will definitely include Axe's and Dipuraja's, plus I have a recipe that I haven't published yet.

We are open to other nominations to include. If you have a favourite recipe on here, or if you have your own recipe that you haven't published yet let me know and I'll try to get it included.

Hi Chris and everyone, i would like to put forward the Bhaji recipe that i put up a while back, basically because its simple and really does taste good, if nothing else it would do as a basis around which to judge the other recipes.
Heres the link:-

Sounds like a good excuse to buy some Cobra beer. Is this your own invention or did you pick it up somewhere? I always use beer for battering fish but I've never even contemplated using it in a Bhaji. Great idea!

yep its my invention if you like, i haven't made bhaji for ages Ive been on the lamb tikka and naan quest.

Surely the Onion/potato bhajis should be excluded on the basis that they include potato and therefore are not onion bhajis?  :
