Onion Fritters

By Greywolf

Onion fritters can be made very easily and quickly at home, and are enjoyed with green chutney or chili sauce.

Ingredients

• 4 large onions
• 4 cloves garlic
• 3/4 cup chick pea flour (besan)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 1 tsp chili powder
• salt to taste
• vegetable oil for shallow frying

Preparation

Step 1

Peel the onions and cut in half. Slice very thinly. Finely chop the garlic.

Mix the flours with the remaining ingredients and enough water to make a smooth creamy batter.

Add onions and garlic and mix well.

Heat oil, about 2 cm deep, in a wide flat pan.

Add tablespoonfuls of the batter and press into patties. Fry on both sides until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove to a rack covered with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve hot with chili sauce or green coriander chutney.

RECIPE SECRET: If you do not want to use egg then you can add a little corn flour to make the fritters more crispy.
