These apple and onion bhajis are a quick and affordable snack or side. They'll go well with dips, as part of a larger meal, or simply as a comforting treat.
Ingredients
- 1 JAZZ Apple grated
- 100 ml apple juice see below
- 1 large white onion finely sliced
- 100 g gram flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp turmeric
- 1 green chili finely chopped
- Neutral oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the Jazz apple and squeeze out most of the juice. Reserve the juice. Place the grated apple in a bowl with ice-cold water. Slice the onion and add to the bowl.
- Add the gram flour and baking powder to a large mixing bowl, then add the chilli powder, turmeric, chopped chilli and a pinch of salt. Mix in about 100ml of apple juice (add more water if need-be) to make a thick batter.
- Add a splash more if it feels too stiff, but remember it’ll begin to hydrate after a while as the apple and onion contain moisture.
- Drain the onion and apple well and mix it into the batter. Heat about 5cm of oil in a deep pan or deep-fryer to 180°C.
- Lower heaped tablespoons 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.
- Drain on kitchen paper, sprinkle with a little salt and keep warm while you cook the rest.
