Oven Baked Onion Bhajis

By krystallondon

Ingredients

• Spices for the pan:
• 450g onions, sliced
• 90g gram flour (also known as chickpea flour. You can get it from most supermarkets or a local Indian shop)
• Vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 heaped tsp tomato puree
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp chilli powder

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a large pan and fry the onions for about 10 minutes. You don't want to brown them, just soften them.

Add the spices for the pan and stir, then take it off the heat.

Add the cooked onions to a bowl with the other dry ingredients and mix well.

Mix the tomato puree with 2 tablespoons of water and add to the bowl of onions. Stir it all together so the flour forms a batter that coats the onions.

Spoon the mixture on a greased baking tray. It will make about 12 small bhajis.

Put into the oven at 180C for 10 minutes. Drizzle them with some oil, then return to the oven for another 10 minutes, until they're golden-brown.
