Indian Onion Bhaji

Ingredients

• 2 medium onions (sliced)
• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast ((optional))
• 3/4 tsp ground cumin
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp lime juice ((or lemon juice))
• 1 green hot chili pepper (finely chopped)
• 1 Tbsp parsley (chopped (or cilantro))
• 3 Tbsp oil (for frying (I used coconut))

Instructions

1. 1

   You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.First, peel and then use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the onions into thin strips and set them aside.

2. 2

   In a medium/ large mixing bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients (except the oil) and whisk into a medium-thick batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.

3. 3

   Stir in the sliced onion (I used my hands), mixing well until they’re fully and evenly coated in batter.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat with at least one tablespoon of coconut oil. Once hot, use tongs to drop small portions of the battered onions into the pan (I cooked 4 fritters at a time).

5. 5

   Cook the onion bhaji for about 2-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining onion mixture and enjoy!
