Step 1

Slice the onion(s) into thin strips - make them as thin as you can

Step 2

Then, in a bowl combine the flour and spices

Step 3

Add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until a thick batter is formed

Step 4

Add the sliced onions into the batter and mix to thoroughly coat each piece

Step 5

Next, pour oil into a deep-frying pan, to cover the bottom of the pan

Step 6

Heat oil to 190C - test this by dropping a little bit of the batter into the oil, it should rise to the top and bubble. Once this happens, take a tbsp of the bhaji mix and drop it into the oil, one at a time, to form the bhajis

Step 7

Cook each bhaji for 2 minutes on each side

Step 8

Once browned and cooked, remove from the oil and turn the heat off

Step 9

Place the bhajis on some kitchen roll to drain off any excess oil

Step 10

Serve with dips as a starter, or alongside curry for a delicious side dish
