Onion Bhaji

These not exactly the prettiest Onion Bhaji's but they sure are lovely, so much nicer than the ones from the supermarket and a damn sight cheaper to boot!
The recipe makes a decent amount about 20ish which should last a few days in the fridge in an air tight container, we like to devour them with my homemade garlic sauce or chilli sauce. Ideal as a side dish with curry or just a good lunchtime snack.


You will need;
2 large onions,thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
4 Tablespoons of curry powder
2 teaspoons of turmeric
1 teaspoons of chilli powder
10 Tablespoons of Gram flour
Enough oil/fat for deep fat frying

Chuck it all in a large mixing bowl making sure its all incorporated, best way is to use your hand. Heat your oil or fat to roughly 350* Drop a spoonful of the mix into the hot fat then as soon as it pops up to the top put another one in,dont over crowd them. Cook for roughly 2 minutes on each side till a nice golden brown colour, drain on kitchen paper. Then feast on those suckers!

Quick garlic sauce recipe I use;

1 level teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of garlic paste
good sprinkle of dried parsley
2 heaped tablespoons of full fat greek yoghurt
2 heaped tablespoons of full fat mayonnaise

Chuck all in a bowl and give a good mix, taste and add more garlic if needed.

Quick chilli sauce recipe;

5 Tablespoons of tomato sauce/ketchup
1 teaspoon of mint sauce
1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder (adjust to taste)
Touch of water to thin slightly

Mix all together, easy as that.
