Servings 8 bhajis

Ingredients
  

  • 2 onions
  • 3 tsps Gram Flour (chickpea flour)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 6 tbsps coconut oil
  • salt & black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start by melting the coconut oil in a frying pan on a high heat.
  • Peel and slice the onions into quarters. Slice each quarter into thin strips (as thin as possible) so you have quarter onion rings.
  • In a bowl, mix together the eggs, gram flour, turmeric, ground coriander, cumin seeds and ground cumin. Season well with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
  • Add the onion slices and toss in the mixture so that they are completely coated.
  • Take a small amount of the coated onions on a spoon and drop into the hot coconut oil. It should start to sizzle as it hits the oil - if not your oil is not hot enough.
  • Fry on one side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and then flip to fry on the other side for another two minutes.
  • Repeat with more of the mixture until you have used it all. You can fry 3-4 at once.
  • Once the bhajis are cooked on both sides remove from the oil and rest on a piece of kitchen roll to absorb some of the excess oil.
  • Serve warm with some cucumber raita or mango salsa as an appetiser or alongside a curry as a side dish.
