#OnionBhaji #BritishIndianRestaurant #Vegetarian
Makes 12 onion bhajis
Ingredients:
4 onions
1 peeled potato
2 green chillies
3/4 tbsp salt
1 tbsp mixed curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp mixed cumin and coriander powder
1 tsp panch phoron
Pinch of dried methi leaves
Handful of fresh coriander leaves (extra for garnishing)
3 eggs
1.5 to 2 cups of gram flour
Method:
1) Cut the onions into thin slices and place into a mixing bowl
2) Cut the potato into thin strips and place into a mixing bowl
3) Finely cut the green chillies into smaller pieces and add to the mixing bowl
4) Add the salt, mixed curry powder, turmeric, mixed cumin and coriander powder, panch phoron, methi leaves and coriander leaves into the mixing bowl
5) Mix the ingredients together and ensure that all the onion and potato are covered in spices
6) Add the 3 eggs to the mixture and mix again, making sure all the onion and potato are covered in egg
7) Add the gram flour and mix. Make sure the mixture is not too wet. If it is then add some more flour. Make sure it is not too dry either. You want to be able to squeeze a handful of onions together and they should hold their shape for a few seconds but not dripping. That is the ideal consistency
8) Wet your hands with water so that the onion mixture does not stick to your hands. Then squeeze a handful of the mixture in your hands and drop in a medium high temperature frying pan. Make sure the batter starts bubbling as soon as it is in the oil
9) Stir the onion bhajis around and flip frequently
10) Once they are golden brown (about 5 minutes) remove from the oil
11) Garnish with coriander and serve with some mint sauce

[@waggledanceterrafirma1706]

I will try these, Ive been making Bhaghis for years and never found the recipie just right as good as the tennis ball bhajis on Oxford road in Manchester as student in 1991. They were the best onion Bhaghis ive ever had and Ive lived in Bradford for 10 years. The centres were still soft and guwy , the outers crispy, in a polysterene tray , divine.

Hey Mike, yes it should be fine to leave in the fridge for one day. Just make sure that you cover it so that the mixture doesn't dry out too much. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

what is the TRUE indian style of bhaji ? the loose style in this video or the tighter more orange coloured balls in BIR resturants , or does it purely depend on the region and or family in india and how they cook

[@PrepCookEat]

I think it depends on the region you are from. I'm sure it is different in India and Pakistan but these are restaurant style bhajis in London. Again there are some differences amongst UK styles but generally they are all similar! Hope you enjoyed the video and please subscribe for more😁

[@avivagros9222]

Bir cuisine is a style in its own right. Bir had the round balls of onion bhaji whereas Indian cuisine has the pakora/pagoda. Hth

Its like cucur or cekodok in Malaysia

[@janetjohnson5914]

I made these for the first time with this receipe l found them to be a little bland so l shall add more salt and more chilli pepper next time l cook this receipe and they should be just right.

[@truthseeker3811]

Is it necessary to add egg never seen before I guess you can add water gradually to help combine ingredients

[@PrepCookEat]

Yes you are right. Egg is not necessary and you can add water.

[@ushafrierson6920]

Can you freeze onion pakoras?

[@PrepCookEat]

Hi Usha, thanks for watching. I have never tried freezing them but you can partially fry the onion bhaji so that they are yellow in colour and hold their shape. These can then be refrigerated and fried later, within 3 days. Let me know if it works if you freeze them!

[@shanenguyengauthier6674]

Pourriez vous mettre la liste des ingrédients en français svp?

[@raykent3211]

Quelques uns sont assez evident, voici des autres: Chilli = piment Salt = sel Mixed curry powder = melange d'épices pour cari (eg madras) en poudre. Mélange pour couscous serait pas exact mais pas mal non plus. Turmeric = cucurma Panch phoron = completement inconnu à moi! Methi = methi, pas si facile a trouver. Gram flour = farine de pois chiche. Remplacez avec 2/3 farine de blé + 1/3 maizena s'il faut. On peut trouver des choses pour la cuisine indienne chez Pankaj Sharma sur internet. Bon chance! Ray

[@asmamalik9297]

I’m vegan what can I replace the eggs with

[@PrepCookEat]

Thanks for watching Asma! I'm not sure to be honest as I haven't tried making a vegan version of this. I have read you can try using coconut yoghurt or blended tofu as a substitute. Let me know how it goes if you try it using those ingredients!😃

[@heyokaikaggen6288]

How do you do this without the egg?

[@PrepCookEat]

Hi! Thanks for watching. You can try using an egg vegan substitute but you can even remove the egg and just add a little bit of water instead until the batter becomes thick and sticky. Let me know how it works out! 😄

[@anumason7623]

Add Eno, or half teaspoon baking powder , or little baking Soda, I have never know anyone put egg in. I use Eno .

[@sallyd7551]

In India they make it without egg and its delicious

[@shyamalarajan-vince6405]

This is a vegetarian dish and in the south we would never put eggs!

Hi Denise, the full list of ingredients can be found in the description of the video. Hope that helps!

[@AminaMerchant-mw8cr]

Can we have the onion bajias in hindi

[@alishahid292]

Needs to be double fried. On the second fry you need to gently break the bhaji open lightly so that oil can get inside and cook through as the first clip it looks doughy and undercooked

[@PrepCookEat]

Hey thanks for watching! We try to go for the crispy outside soft inside with our bhajis. The inside is definitely not doughy but it is soft. I know for our homemade style bhajis we prefer to have it crispier. However this recipe was for the restaurant style bhajis that you get. Hope that helps!
