Onion bhajis recipe

Onions are loaded with myriad potent health benefits so load up on this onion bhajis recipe for a bite-sized healthy hit.

Makes 8 individual small/medium-sized bhajis

Ingredients:

3 medium onions
2tsp turmeric
1tsp ground coriander
2tsp ground cumin
1tsp chilli powder
1tsp ground ginger
1tsp cumin seeds
1tsp oil
3tbsp millet or chickpea flour, either will work fine
2tbsp tomato puree
4 tbsp water
Pinch salt, to taste

Method:

Preheat your oven to 225 C / 437 F.

1. Peel and finely slice your onions. Then, drizzle the oil into a pan on a medium-high heat, and add in the onions. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Then, add in the turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, chilli powder, ground ginger and cumin seeds. Stir, and fry for 3 more minutes. This might be fairly dry, but don’t worry, just keep stirring to avoid the spices sticking to the pan.

2. After this, remove the onion mixture from the heat and add into a mixing bowl. Spoon in the flour, tomato purée, water and a pinch of salt. Using your hands or a spatula, mix together into a fairly wet mix. It will be quite delicate.

3. Take a spoonful of your mix, and press into a ball shape. Place onto a non-stick oven tray, or tray lined with baking parchment. Repeat 8 times, or until all of your mixture has been used. Put in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the outside of the bhajis look crisp.

4. When the bhajis have cooked, remove from the oven, and remove from the tray using a spatula. Serve and enjoy!
