Choose Serving Size 12 bhajis

Ingredients 

  • 2 medium onions finely sliced
  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 hot pepper finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
  • coconut oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, cumin, salt, turmeric, water, lime juice, hot pepper and parsley.
  • Mix until you get a creamy batter. Add the onion slices and mix until incorporated.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat, add a little bit of coconut oil, and drop a spoonful of the onion mixture to form each bhaji. Fry the bhajis on each side until they brown well and become crispy.
  • Serve these onion bhajis warm, with a splash of lime juice and dairy-free yogurt sauce on the side.

Notes

Best served fresh and warm. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a hot pan or the oven to bring back the crispiness. Delicious with a dairy-free yogurt-mint dip.
