Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 medium onions, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon chili powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons garam masala
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch saffron
2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons water
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onions until soft and translucent without browning them, about 5 minutes.
  • Add turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, and chili powder and stir in evenly until onions take on a uniform color. Remove from heat.
  • Put onions in a mixing bowl. Combine flour, garam masala, salt, coriander, garlic, turmeric, cumin, and saffron in a small bowl. Add spice mix to the onions and mix until well coated. Stir water and tomato paste together in a bowl and pour over onion mixture. Stir everything together. Batter should be easy to stir but not sloppy or sticky. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if batter is too sticky.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add a large spoonful of batter to the hot oil and deep fry for 30 to 45 seconds. Turn bhaji over and fry until golden brown and crispy, another 30 seconds. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.

These onion bhajis were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I'm not usually a fan of onion bhajis, but these were really good. The batter was light and crispy, and the onions were perfectly caramelized.

Not a fan of the dipping sauce, but the bhajis themselves were tasty.

Followed the recipe exactly and the bhajis turned out great! Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

I've tried many onion bhaji recipes, but this one is by far the best. The bhajis are always crispy and golden brown, and the flavor is amazing.
