INDIAN RESTAURANT STYLE ONION BHAJIA - DEEP FRIED ONION FRITTERS
An absolute must as an accompaniment to curry or wonderful as a starter for an Indian meal. Onion Bhajis are tasty little onion balls bound together with lightly spiced and fragrant chickpea flour batter. Serve these with coriander chutney or cucumber raita. You will ALWAYS be offered these on any British Indian restaurant menu; they also make great snacks if served with salad and assorted chutneys and spicy dips. You can lighten these up a little bit by frying them, and then allowing them to drain over a wire rack before reheating them in a medium to hot oven for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Put the vegetable oil into a large pan and heat over a medium to high heat.
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, add the chickpea flour, baking powder, rice flour, turmeric, black onion seeds, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and the water. Mix together well and then add the sliced onion - mix the onion through until well coated.
- Check the temperature of the oil by dropping a small cube of bread in - it should brown fairly slowly - not burn or go dark brown straight away.
- Carefully drop spoons of the bhaji batter in to the oil, do NOT overcrowd as they will stick together. Fry them in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes until they are a golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and allow them to drain on a paper covered plate in a warm oven.
- Repeat until all the bhaji batter is finished and they are all cooked.
- Sprinkle over a little salt and serve straight away with coriander chutney or cucumber raita.

VIDALIA ONION FRITTERS
The French term amuse bouche (which means "amuse the mouth") describes tiny appetizers that are served with drinks to awaken the palate. One such complimentary amuse bouche that we serve out Chanterelle clients as they sip their aperitifs and look over the menu is these little fritters, which come with a slightly exotic Tamarind Dipping Sauce. The restaurant staff likes them, too: After a long, late shift, when we often have snacks before we clean up and go home, we can't resist indulging in the fritters, although we usually dip them in hot sauce since there's rarely any Tamarind Dipping Sauce left in the kitchen. Sweet Vidalia onions are harvested in the spring and are best at that time, when they're freshest. They can be found the rest of the year for as long as the supply lasts. If you can't find Vidalias, try another sweet onion like Maui (Hawaii) or Walla Walla (Washington). At other times of year you could use Spanish onions as a substitute.

Steps:
- 1. Place 1 3/4 cups flour, the baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to mix.
- 2. Place 2 cups of the milk, the eggs, vinegar, and hot sauce in another bowl and whisk until blended, then pour into the flour mixture and whisk until just blended; do not overmix. Stir in the sliced onions and let the batter rest for 30 minutes. It should be slightly thicker than heavy cream. If it isn't, sprinkle in a little more flour. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. The batter should look somewhat free-form, not doughy.
- 3. Preheat the oven to its lowest setting.
- 4. Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 4 inches into a large, heavy saucepan and heat to 375°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Drop the onion fritter batter into the hot oil by the tablespoonful, a few at a time, and fry, turning once, until the fritters are golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes in all. The fritters will have an irregular, spiderlike look, with a few loose pieces of onion escaping here and there. Check a fritter by breaking it open to see if the center Is cooked; it it still seems unset, cook 1 minute more. Drain on paper towels. Place the fritters in the oven to keep warm while you finish frying them all. Serve on a doily-lined platter or in a lined woven basket accompanied by the dipping sauce in one or more bowls.
ONION FRITTERS/BHAJI
A tasty starter that is really popular here in the UK. This recipe is from a Madhur Jaffrey book that I bought 1/2 price in a sale. Although these are best served warm my youngest DD prefers them cold and I must agree with her that they are just as tasty cold. They are delicious served with a mint raiata or chilli sauce. Prep time does not include the standing time.

Steps:
- Break the egg into a bowl and beat well, add 4 tbs water and the lemon juice. Mix, add the flour and mix well with a whisk. Put in the spices, coriander leaf and chilli if using. Mix well and set aside for at least 10 minutes or longer. Mix again with a whisk. The batter should be of a fairly thick, droppable consistency.
- Heat the oil in a wok or deep fat fryer over a medium heat. A minimum of 3 inches is required in the centre of a wok. When the oil is ready, put the onions in the batter and mix - this is always best done just before cooking.
- Take heaped tsp of the batter and drop into the hot oil. Use all the batter this way. Stir and fry the fritters for 7-8 minutes or until golden. Remove and drain on kitchen paper and serve hot.

EASY ONION BHAJIS RECIPE
Steps:
- PREPARE THE ONIONS - Peel the onion, wash and cut the onions in to thin slices. Cut them into halves again.
- MIX THE INGREDIENTS - In a mixing bowl, all all the dry ingredients - onion, flour, spices and salt.Mix them with clean hands and allow them to sit for at least 20 minutes ( or longer - up to 1 hour )
- ONION BHAJI BATTER - After 20 minutes, squeeze the onions with your hands to release the water. Combine the mixture together to form a thick batter. If you feel the batter is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until the batter coats the onions well.
- If you feel, during the process of frying the batter has gone a bit watery, you can add 1-2 tsp of gram flour too.
- FRYING THE BHAJIS - Heat Oil Check if your oil is sufficiently hot by adding a pinch of the onion bhaji batter. If it bubbles up immediately, you know the oil is ready for frying the remaining Onion Pakora.
- Using a spoon or clean hands, add small onion bhaji batter portions into the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes. Flip the bhaji's once they are light brown on one side and fry until they are brown all over and evenly cooked.
- Check if they're cooked inside and the bhaji is not wet. Drain the fried fritter on a kitchen roll or absorbent paper to soak up any excess oil.
- SERVE - Serve with your favourite coriander chutney or raita.
- STORE & REHEAT - Store any leftover onion bhaji's in an airtight container and refrigerate upto 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 150C for 10-15 minutes.

UNIQUE AND DELICIOUS BENGALI FRITTERS TO TRY THIS MONSOON

- Kumro Phuler Bora a.k.a fried pumpkin flowers. You may have come across pumpkin fries, but we bet you didn’t know about pumpkin flower fritters.
- Pat Patar Bora or jute leaf fritters. Bengalis don’t limit their palate to just palak fritters. We live to eat and love to go beyond conventional recipes, hence the jute leaf fritters.
- Kolar Bora a.k.a raw banana fritters. These are different from the South Indian-style banana chips you have been munching on.
- Begun Bhaja or brinjal fry. Also known as beguni, it is a universal favourite and we know exactly why. Whether you love brinjal or not, you will definitely end up falling for this version.
- Bok Phool Bhaja a.k.a Agasta flower. This is another popular flower with many health benefits which tastes absolutely delicious when coated in besan and kalonji batter and deep-fried.
- Postor Bora or poppy seed fritters. Bengalis and their love for posto (poppy seeds) is known to all. We love to have posto in all forms.
- Macher Dim Er Bora a.k.a fish roe fritters. We love the roe as much as we love the fish. It tastes heavenly when deep-fried in mustard oil.
- Thankuni Pata Bora or Indian pennywort fritters. If you think we are a little obsessed with leaves, we won’t deny it.

Turn over, and fry on the other side until golden, about another 2 minutes. Remove the fritters to a paper towel lined plate. Oil the pan as needed to finish frying the fritters
- Keep fritters warm in a low oven, about 200 degrees F while you fry the rest of the batter. Serve warm, plain or with sour cream for garnish.
