Onion Bhaji
On this rainy day, decided to go in for some onion bhajis / pakodas and some masala chai. Onion bhaji or onion pakodas are a very popular deep fried snack made with chick pea / gram flour. I added rice flour for that extra crispiness.
Ingredients
- 1 large Onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 inch Ginger Piece (chopped)
- 1 cup Gram flour (Besan)
- 1/2 cup Rice flour
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp Chili powder
- 1/8 tsp Garam masala
- 1 Green chilies (finely chopped)
- Oil (as required)
Instructions
-
1 In a bowl, add onion , salt and ginger. Nicely crush the onions with your hands. Keep aside for 10-15 mins .(so that the onion releases water).
-
2 Next, add all the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add 2 tbsp oil. Mix well.
-
3 Sprinkle sufficient water little at a time while mixing , to get a nice thick batter .(that coats the back of a spoon, not too runny).
-
4 Heat oil, drop the batter little by little in hot oil (keep on medium flame) forming bhajis / bhajas / pakodas.
-
5 Fry on one side till golden brown and flip on other side.
-
6 Fry till nice and golden brown color. Drain on a absorbent paper towel.
-
7 Serve hot with chai. Enjoy!

Is rice flour really necessary?
Hi Nirmala
Rice flour is not necessary , but I add it to make them crispy .
Going to enjoy making this, looks pretty easy and I’m sure it will taste good.
