Impulsive Culinarian’s Indian Onion Bhaji Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Corn Flour
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Fresh Coriander, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 3 medium to large Yellow Onions, peeled, halved & thinly sliced
- 2 to 3 cups of Oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except the onions and oil in a large mixing bowl
- Peel & slice the onions and add them to the batter
- Toss onions well until thoroughly coated with batter
- Warm a high-sided skillet over medium heat
- Add enough oil to have 1″ or so of oil in the bottom of your skillet
- Heat the oil to approximately 325°
- Make bhaji-sized balls with the onion mixture (smaller than a baseball, but bigger than a golf ball)
- VERY carefully place bahjis into the hot oil in small batches so that they do not touch each other
- Cook for around 20 minutes per side until they turn a deep golden brown colour with a very crispy texture
- Carefully transfer to a large plat lined with paper-towel to drain
- Serve right away
The Perfect Addition To A Romantic Valentines Day Menu
It’s impossible for me to imagine any home-made Indian feast without the addition of these completely addictive onion bhaji morsels. Often best to make a double or even a triple batch since the recipe above will only make around 8 golden morsels … not to mention the ones that will disappear while cooling! You have been warned :)
