 Onion Bhaji 

---

Ingredients:

• 2 large Onions, finely sliced
• 1 cup Gram Flour (Chickpea Flour/Besan)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
• A pinch of Hing (Asafoetida)
• Salt to taste
• Water (as needed to make the batter)
• Oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a large bowl, combine the gram flour, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, hing, and salt.
   • Gradually add water to the mixture, whisking continuously to form a smooth, thick batter.

2. Add the Onions:

   • Add the finely sliced onions to the batter.
   • Mix well to ensure the onions are thoroughly coated with the batter.

3. Fry the Bhajis:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the onion-batter mixture into the oil.
   • Fry the bhajis in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
   • Remove the bhajis with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

4. Serve:

   • Serve hot with chutney or dipping sauce of your choice.
