Crispy Onion Bhaji (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
02 -
½ cup water (120 ml)
03 -
¾ teaspoon salt
04 -
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
05 -
1 cup chickpea flour (100 g)
06 -
2 medium onions (300 g), thinly sliced
07 -
3 tablespoons coconut oil, for frying
08 -
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
09 -
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (or cilantro)
10 -
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
11 -
1 green chili pepper, finely diced
# Instructions:
01 -
First, peel your onions. Then with a sharp knife or a mandoline, cut them into thin strips. Put them to the side once done.
02 -
Grab a medium-sized bowl. Stir together chickpea flour, ground cumin, turmeric, nutritional yeast, lime juice, salt, water, parsley, and green chili. Keep mixing until you get a medium-thick batter. Add tiny amounts of water (a teaspoon each) if it's too thick.
03 -
Drop the sliced onions into the batter and stir really well, so they're fully coated.
04 -
Set a big skillet on medium heat and melt a tablespoon of coconut oil in it.
05 -
With some tongs, grab small portions of the battered onions and place them in the hot skillet. Fry about four fritters at a time, cooking for around 2-4 minutes on each side until they're crunchy and golden brown.
06 -
Keep frying the rest of the onion mix. When done, serve them up hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like a cooling cucumber raita.
