Bhajis are small vegetable fritters often sold on street stalls in India.

 

 

1 teaspoons vegetable -OR- rice bran oil, plus extra, to shallow-fry

1 large brown (yellow) onion, cut in thin rings

3/4 cup chickpea flour

3/4 cup GF self-raising (self-rising) flour (see Note)

1 teaspoon garam masala

1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 1/2 cups frozen mixed veggies (corn, peas, celery, onion and

capsicum [bell pepper])

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

plain soy yogurt, to serve

 

 

1. Heat 4 teaspoons oil in n large non-stick frying pan over moderate

heat. Cook and stir onion for 5 minutes or until golden. Drain on

paper towels. Cool.

 

2. Sift flours with spices into a large mixing bowl; stir in onion,

veggies and coriander (cilantro).

 

3. Gradually stir in 1 cup water until smooth.

 

4. Pour oil into a large, deep non-stick frying pan to a depth of 3 cm

(1 1/4 " ). Heat over high heat (when a cube of bread browns quickly

without absorbing any oil).

 

5. For each fritter, place 1/4 cup mixture into pan; flatten slightly.

Cook fritters, 3 at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until

golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Serve with yogurt.

powder at the rate recommended for your brand.
