Air Fryer Onion Bhaji Recipes

AIR FRYER ONION BHAJIS

Steps:

• Cut the onions in half and then finely slice them. Mix the salt into them and set aside for an hour or up to four hours.
• After an hour the onions will be limp and moist. Squeeze the onions to release the water into the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the onions, being careful not to add to much gram flour. You should easily be able to pick up a ball of the onion mixture.
• Divide the mixture in to small bhajis.
• Heat your air fryer to 176c/380f. Spray the basket with oil spray generously.
• Place the bhajis in the basket. You will need to cook these in batches.
• After 15 minutes, your first batch will be cooked to perfection.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

AIR FRYER ONION BHAJI RECIPE

Steps:

• MIX THE INGREDIENTS - Add all the dry ingredients - flour, spices, salt, onion, and coriander leaves.
• Mix them with clean hands and allow them to sit for at least 20 minutes ( or longer - up to 1 hour )
• ONION BHAJI BATTER - After 20 minutes, squeeze the onions with your hands to release the water. Combine the mixture together to form a thick batter. If you feel the batter is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until the batter coats the onions well. If you feel, during the process of frying the batter has gone a bit watery, you can add 1-2 tsp of gram flour too.
• AIR FRY ONION BHAJI - Preheat the Air fryer to 400F / 200C for 10 minutes. Brush the air fryer basket with oil. Add small lumps of the fritter batter into a basket without touching each other. Brush a little oil on the top. Air fry for 10- 12 minutes, rotating at halftime. Brush again with a little oil.
• Air fry until evenly brown and crispy. Check if they're cooked inside and the bhaji is not wet. Transfer to a serving plate.
• SERVE - Serve immediately with your favorite coriander chutney, ketchup, tamarind chutney, or raita.
