Air Fryer Onion Bhajis Recipes

ONION BHAJI

Steps:

• Make the batter, mix all of the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl with water to create a batter with a consistency similar to heavy cream (double cream in the UK). You might need to add more water than written in the ingredient list above.
• Slice the onions into thin slices and separate them just a little.
• Add the onions to the batter.
• Stir the onions with the batter so that it coats the onion slices well.
• Heat canola or vegetable/corn oil to 355°F (180C°), then using 2 spoons of your hands start dropping clusters of onions in the batter (about 3-4 at a time), and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
• Using a spider or slotted spoon, remove the bhajis from the oil, and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Enjoy hot on their own, or serve with a yogurt mint raita.

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.

Steps:

• Mix red onion, yellow onion, salt, jalapeno, garlic, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, and cumin in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Add chickpea flour and water. Stir to combine into a thick batter. Add more water if necessary. Let mixture rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into the basket and flatten. Repeat as many times as your basket allows without the bhajis touching.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes. Mist the tops of each bhaji with cooking spray. Flip and cook 6 additional minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter.

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.
