Method
Preparation
- 1
Slice the Onions
Peel and thinly slice the onions. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- 2
Prepare the Spice Mix
Add cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to the sliced onions. Mix well to combine.
- 3
Make the Batter
Add chickpea flour and rice flour to the onion mixture. Gradually add water, mixing until a thick batter forms that coats the onions.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 5
Fry the Bhajis
Using your hands or a spoon, drop small portions of the batter-coated onions into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, remove the bhajis from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
