Making Onion Bhajis, my favourite Indian Starter
Ranked #9,436 in Food & Cooking, #159,209 overall
They were easy..........
Onion Bhajis are our favourite indian starter. In the UK you could get them from the supermarket pre-packed and just warm them up, well here in Oz you can't. After nearly 3 years of looking, I decided to start making my own. I don't know why it took me 3 years to come to this decision, but, better late than never, hey ?
Saturday night has always been curry night in our house. My husband, Buster and I love a good curry. Well, last Saturday night we had homemade onion bhajis and a chicken curry made in the slow cooker (that recipe will be my next lens)

Method.....
Couldn't be Easier.....
- Slice the onions and fry gently in a little bit of oil preferably in a wok or if not, large frying pan. Cook until translucent, not brown. Keep stiring them to ensure that they are evenly cooked.
- Sprinkle in the Spices for the pan and then remove from the heat.
- In a bowl, mix together the Plain Flour, Salt, Coriander and Cumin.
- Now add the Onions to the bowl and mix together well.
- Combine the Tomatoe Puree and Water together and then add this to the onion mixture.
- The mixture needs to be easy to stir but not all wet and slushy, if it is add a little more flour.
- Drizzle a little oil onto a baking tray and then place 2 to 3 tablespoons per bhaji of the mixture onto the tray. Flatten it slightly with a spoon.
- Cook on 180 in the oven for 10 minutes
- Remove from the oven and then drizzle with a little oil
- Cook for approximately 10 more minutes or until Golden Brown
- ENJOY

I love both really, it depends on what mood I am in, but if I had to choose it would be Indian food. I love hot dishes, but prefer to eat a meal with a number of dishes of varying heat, rather than everything at a "bum-burner" level. Onion Bhajis are my favourite by far though.

Onion bhajis are hard to come by in Australia. That was until Hayley made her own and is proud to say they were a big hit :)
