Elaboració

Pas a pas

  1. 1

    Place the sliced onion in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

    Uns 10 min

    Nota de cuina: Salting the onions helps them release water, which makes the bhajis crispier and prevents a soggy texture.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, grated ginger, chopped green chili, ground turmeric, ground cumin, and garam masala.

    Uns 1 min

  3. 3

    Add the flour mixture to the salted onions. Gradually add water, mixing until a thick batter forms that coats the onions.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: The batter should be just thick enough to bind the onions together, not too runny.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat to about 175°C (350°F).

    Uns 5 min

    Nota de cuina: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.

  5. 5

    Carefully drop spoonfuls of the onion mixture into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.

    Nota de cuina: Overcrowding the pan will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy bhajis.

  6. 6

    Fry the bhajis for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

    Uns 8 min

    Nota de cuina: Turn them occasionally to ensure even browning.

  7. 7

    Remove the cooked bhajis from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

    Uns 1 min

    Nota de cuina: Draining on a wire rack allows air to circulate, keeping them crisp.

  8. 8

    Repeat with the remaining batter until all bhajis are cooked.

  9. 9

    Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite chutney.
