Quick and easy vegan recipe of crispy Onion fritters also known as Onion Bhaji in Indian cuisine, mainly served as a snack or starter before a main course. Its also sometimes named as pakora (fritter) which are deep-fried in a batter of chickpea flour.
I make this quiet often when we want to munch on snacks and this is quick to prepare during weekends. Most of the recipes call for many ingredients for Onion Bhaji and I made it super-quick for minimal prep and time in the kitchen.
Preparation time : 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Onion – 1 medium, thinly sliced
Chickpea flour/ Gram flour / Besan – 1/2 cup / 70 g
Rice flour – 2 tbsp, for crispness
Water – 25 ml if required
Red chili powder – 1 tsp (optional)
Salt – 1/4 tsp
Directions
1. Peel and wash onion. Cut into thin slices.
2. Add chickpea flour or besan, rice flour, salt. Mix and coat together using your hands or spoon. It will turn sticky as onions release water while mixing. Do not add water yet until well mixed for half a minute.
Now you can add little water but not too much.
4. Heat oil in a deep-bottomed container of 2-inch. Drop the batter in small amounts as shown.
5. Fry in batches for 2 minutes or until it changes color to light brown. Strain with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper towels.
Serve hot with tea ☕ or any spicy dip. We have this quiet often in the evenings and by the time I’m done frying with my last batch they are almost over ☺. However, this time I managed to get a picture while my hubby patiently waited.
A quick picture before crunching into them.
