Servings2 plates
Ingredients
- 2 nos medium sized onion
- 1/2 cup besan flour
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ajwain
- a tiny pinch baking soda
- oil to deep fry
- water as needed I added little more than 1/3 cup
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Measure rice and besan flour and take it in a mixing bowl.
- Add ajwain, red chilli powder and salt. Add baking soda.
- Now peel the skin from onions. slice them. It should be slightly thick.
- Mix the flours well, add water little by little. Keep mixing. Use a whisk to mix so that there are no lumps.
- The batter should not be runny then it will not coat the onions. If you dip a finger inside and take it out the batter should coat well and should stand this is the right consistency. Now dip the onions in the batter.
- Dip it well so that the batter coats well on both the sides.
- Heat oil in a kadai, when its hot enough then gently drop it in oil. Deep fry.
- Repeat to finish the onions and the batter. Flip and cook until golden brown.
- Remove from oil, drain in tissue paper. Serve Onion Bajji hot with coconut chutney!
Notes
- I added kashmiri red chilli powder for color and to make the bajjis less spicy. You can add normal red chilli powder too.
- The consistency of the batter is very important to get perfectly puffed up crispy bajjis so add water accordingly. If water is more and the batter becomes runny, add little more besan flour and mix.
- Always fry the bajjis in medium flame and keep flipping so that it does not get burnt.
- Use fine besan variety.
