Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onions until soft and translucent without browning them, about 5 minutes.
- Add turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, and chili powder and stir in evenly until onions take on a uniform color. Remove from heat.
- Put onions in a mixing bowl. Combine flour, garam masala, salt, coriander, garlic, turmeric, cumin, and saffron in a small bowl. Add spice mix to the onions and mix until well coated. Stir water and tomato paste together in a bowl and pour over onion mixture. Stir everything together. Batter should be easy to stir but not sloppy or sticky. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if batter is too sticky.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add a large spoonful of batter to the hot oil and deep fry for 30 to 45 seconds. Turn bhaji over and fry until golden brown and crispy, another 30 seconds. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:
- Soak the onion in cold water while you make the base mix. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then add the chilli powder, turmeric, chopped chilli and a good sprinkling of salt. Mix in about 100ml of cold water to make a thick batter - add a splash more if it feels too stiff.
- For the raita, peel the cucumber and grate it into a sieve set over another bowl. Mix the remaining ingredients with some seasoning and the drained cucumber - squeezing out any extra moisture with your hands - then spoon into a small serving bowl.
- Drain the onion well and mix it into the batter. Heat about 5cm of oil in a wok or deep pan. Do not fill the pan more than a third full. Add a tiny speck of batter. If it rises to the surface surrounded by bubbles and starts to brown, then the oil is hot enough for frying.
- Lower heaped tbsps of the bhaji mixture into the pan, a few at a time, and cook for a few mins, turning once, until they are evenly browned and crisp, so about 3-4 mins. Drain on kitchen paper, sprinkle with a little salt and keep warm while you cook the rest. Serve with the raita.

Steps:
- Cut the onions in half and then finely slice them. Mix the salt into them and set aside for an hour or so.
- After an hour the onions will be limp and moist. 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 some oil for deep frying to 160c (320f).
- When this heat is reached, cook the bhajis in batches until they turn light brown. Transfer to a plate while you cook the remaining bhajis. At this stage, you are not cooking the bhajis through. You just want to get them started.
- Turn the heat up until your oil reaches 180c ((356f)
- Add the bhajis in batches and cook for a further couple of minutes until they are crispy and deep brown in colour.
- Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain excess oil and serve hot.
- If not serving immediately, place in a warm (not hot) oven.

INDIAN RESTAURANT STYLE ONION BHAJIA - DEEP FRIED ONION FRITTERS
An absolute must as an accompaniment to curry or wonderful as a starter for an Indian meal. Onion Bhajis are tasty little onion balls bound together with lightly spiced and fragrant chickpea flour batter. Serve these with coriander chutney or cucumber raita. You will ALWAYS be offered these on any British Indian restaurant menu; they also make great snacks if served with salad and assorted chutneys and spicy dips. You can lighten these up a little bit by frying them, and then allowing them to drain over a wire rack before reheating them in a medium to hot oven for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Put the vegetable oil into a large pan and heat over a medium to high heat.
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, add the chickpea flour, baking powder, rice flour, turmeric, black onion seeds, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and the water. Mix together well and then add the sliced onion - mix the onion through until well coated.
- Check the temperature of the oil by dropping a small cube of bread in - it should brown fairly slowly - not burn or go dark brown straight away.
- Carefully drop spoons of the bhaji batter in to the oil, do NOT overcrowd as they will stick together. Fry them in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes until they are a golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and allow them to drain on a paper covered plate in a warm oven.
- Repeat until all the bhaji batter is finished and they are all cooked.
- Sprinkle over a little salt and serve straight away with coriander chutney or cucumber raita.

EASY ONION BHAJIS RECIPE
Steps:
- PREPARE THE ONIONS - Peel the onion, wash and cut the onions in to thin slices. Cut them into halves again.
- MIX THE INGREDIENTS - In a mixing bowl, all all the dry ingredients - onion, flour, spices and salt.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.
- FRYING THE BHAJIS - Heat Oil Check if your oil is sufficiently hot by adding a pinch of the onion bhaji batter. If it bubbles up immediately, you know the oil is ready for frying the remaining Onion Pakora.
- Using a spoon or clean hands, add small onion bhaji batter portions into the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes. Flip the bhaji's once they are light brown on one side and fry until they are brown all over and evenly cooked.
- Check if they're cooked inside and the bhaji is not wet. Drain the fried fritter on a kitchen roll or absorbent paper to soak up any excess oil.
- SERVE - Serve with your favourite coriander chutney or raita.
- STORE & REHEAT - Store any leftover onion bhaji's in an airtight container and refrigerate upto 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 150C for 10-15 minutes.
