Me and T are obsessed with a good curry and there is nothing better during the mid-week than popping a whole load of ingredients in the slow-cooker for a ready made meal the next day!
But some times on the weekends we want add a little bit more glamour to our standard curry night! (minus the obligatory wine obviously!) I found a brilliant onion Bhaji recipe in one of my cook books so I thought id give it a go!
Turns out that they are not only super easy to make and taste super authentic, they are also sugar free and gluten free!! :)
Word of warning when you start to make these take into account that you will be cutting up a whole lotta onions! I have started wearing my ski goggles to prep this dish as otherwise it is just so painful!
I would also recommend getting your hands on some ghee (clarified butter) as I originally shallow fried these guys in oil but that gets very smokey very quickly! The butter tends to heat much better and means you avoid burning your bhaji's.
Recipe:
3/4 white onions
Ground Cumin
Ground Coriander
Turmeric
Gram Flour
Water
salt and pepper to season
Ghee for cooking
Method:
Chop your onions nice and fine and place in a large mixing bowl
Then add in your spices and salt + pepper
Add 250g of gram flour and then water until you get a nice batter
Heat your butter or oil in a deep frying pan (about 2cm deep) and carefully spoon in your mixture
Keep an eye on your bahji's, turning as required
Place your cooked Bhaji's on some kitchen roll to remove any excess oil and then you are all ready to serve!
Let me know if you give this recipe a go!
Thank you for reading :)
