Onion Bhajiya

This is a crowd pleaser. Serve it at a gathering and the plates will be empty in minutes. A quick appetizer and my absolute favorite dish to eat on a cold, gloomy day.

What you'll need..

• 1 Large onion cut in half and sliced thinly, lengthwise
• 1/2 Tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 Tsp coriander seeds
• 1-2 Green chillies chopped
• 2 Tbsp cilantro leaves chopped
• 1/2 chilli powder
• 1/2 Cup gram flour (Besan) (More or less, as needed)
• Salt to taste
• Oil for frying

How to..

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together onions, cumin and coriander seeds, green chillies, cilantro leaves, chilli powder and salt.
• Now add gram flour and water, a little at a time and mixing constantly. The batter should not be thick or runny. It should be just enough to coat the onions and hold them together in a cluster.
• Heat oil in a frying pan. Add uneven cluster of onions into the hot oil. Fry on high heat initially and then on medium. This helps make them crisp without burning them.
• They are done when they turn brown and crispy. Remove them from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. 
• Serve hot with ketchup and cilantro chutney.
