Step 1:
You will need:

• 1 large onion , sliced
  
• 200 g chickpea flour
  
• 1 tsp baking powder ,
  
• 2 tbsp rice flour
  
• ½ tsp chilli powder
• ½ tsp turmeric
• ½ tsp cumin powder
• ½ tsp coriander powder
• some salt
  
• 100 ml water
  
• 750 ml vegetable oil
  
• 1 saucepan
  
• 1 bowl
  
• 1 whisk
  
• 1 spoon
  
• 1 slotted spoon
  
• tray lined with paper towels
  

Step 2:
Heat the oil

Put the oil into the pan and place it on a medium-high heat.
Step 3:
Make the batter

In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, baking powder, chilli, turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt and the water. Mix it together well and add the sliced onion.
Step 4:
Check the oil

Check the temperature of the oil by dropping a little batter into it. If it fries slowly, it is at the right temperature.
Step 5:
Fry the bhaji

Carefully drop spoons of batter into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, which will make them stick together. Fry them for about 1-2 minutes or until the batter becomes a lovely golden brown. Remove them, place them to drain on the paper-lined tray, and repeat until all the bhaji are cooked.
Step 6:
Season and serve

Sprinkle over a little salt and your onion bhaji are ready to serve. They make a perfect appetiser and go well with coriander chutney or cucumber raita, both of which can be found on our website. Enjoy!
