Description
Indian vegetable fritters.
| Ingredients-1 | |
|---|---|
| 2 cup | Gram flour (500 grams approx) |
| 2 tbsp | Rice flour |
| 2 tsp | Red chilli powder |
| 1 pinch | Baking soda |
| Ingredients-2 | |
|---|---|
| 2 cup | Bhaji flour (using ingredients from table-1) |
| 3/4 teaspoon | Salt (or to taste) |
| 1 no | Onion (cut lengthwise) |
| ½ cup or as needed) | Water |
| 4 cup | Oil |
Instructions
Make Bhaji flour by mixing thoroughly all ingredients from table -1 while its still dry. Mix salt and add water gradually to avoid lumps. Make a smooth paste consistency, which is just enough to dribble off a spoon. While making this, heat oil in wide kadai, when its all ready, dump onion in the batter and deep fry. Drain in a paper towel and serve with tomato ketchup or sauce.
Notes
Fry them in batches; secret of crispy bhaji is to fry them on medium flame; Avoid soaking onions for a long time in the batter, it would release water and make the bhaji soggy.

Before adding water,if u add hot oil(1tsp)into the bajji flour u will get crispy bajji without using baking soda.Just sharing
i tried this baji, it came out well & the taste is nice.Good idea to add cutted onion instead of usual use.
Hi Mullai!!!
I tried this receipe for my evening snacks today….
and that came out really awesome!!! my husband like tat very much.
I have added 2 tblspn of corn flour rather than rice flour, the cripiness retained longer…
Thanks for the receipe… keep posting…
Tulip, that seem to be a good tip, thanks for sharing.
Mullai,
I have made onion bhajji without adding any water to the flour. Just mix the onions with the ingredients (I also add a pinch of asafoetida) – onions let off their own juice which are adequate.
hi ive made one two i love them
Hi Mullai, i have a doubt..Is Baking Soda and Baking powder are same ? Can we use the baking soda which is available in American Grocerry’s ? B’coz in India they will sell in a 2 inches box, but here in American Stores they are selling in lbs. So…confused to buy those so i returned back…
