Onion Bhaji Spice Blend - 50g

A delicious blend of spices to create a traditional onion bhaji.

Ingredients: 

·         100g finely sliced onion.

·         35g gram flour

·         10g onion bhaji spice

·         20ml cold water – adjust to desired consistency

·         A squirt of lemon juice.

·         Cooking oil or low cal alternative for frying.

Method:

·         Mix together the bhaji spice, flour, lemon juice, water and a pinch of salt in a large bowl to create a smooth thin batter – no thicker than double cream.

·         Add onion and mix thoroughly.

·         Heat oil in a deep fryer or frying pan to around 180 degrees. (At the correct temp a drop of batter should sizzle as it hits the oil, then float).

·         Take one tablespoon of the mixture and carefully place into the pan (or submerge into oil depending on cooking method) using another spoon.

·         Fry for 5-6 minutes, turning halfway, or until crisp and deep golden brown.

·         Drain on kitchen paper and serve with a warm mint dip (mix mint jelly with plain yoghurt).

·         Mix can be used as pakora batter, simply make as stated above and instead of adding onion, coat ingredient in batter before frying.

·         Spice blend can be used to flavor other Indian dishes as well as adjusting recipe to low cal version.

Supplied in a 50g pack.
