Ingredients

750ml oil for deep frying
100g gram flour
140ml water
25g Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste
1tsp bicarbonate of soda (optional – makes the batter lighter)
3 onions
salt

How to make Onion Bhajis

Slice the onions into strips and place in a bowl with 2tbsp of salt. Mix and leave for 10 minutes. Wash the salt off the onions and squeeze the onions in a dish cloth to dry them.
Sieve the gram flour if it is lumpy, then mix the gram flour and water together until the mixture is smooth.
Add Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste, salt and bicarbonate of soda. Mix well.
Add the onions and mix until they are covered in batter.
Heat the oil in a wok. To test the oil is at the right temperature, add a drop of batter and it should immediately crisp and rise to the top of the pan.
Take spoonfuls of the batter and onion mixture and fry until golden brown about 2-3 minutes.
Drain well on paper towels before serving.

Tips

Tip:

If you don’t have bicarbonate of soda, you can use sparkling water instead of still water.
As an alternative to onions you can use broccoli, grated potato, courgettes or sliced aubergines, peppers etc…
Balsamic vinegar with some salt and a little red chilli makes a nice dip.
