potato & onion bhaji

potato and onion bhajis topping lettuce and sweet red pepper

 

with thanks to Moon Rhythm whose fabulous photos of delicious onion fritters flic.kr/p/2rerz7u reminded me that i'd bought chickpea flour recently to make potato and onion bhajis but forgotten all about it. her mouthwatering photos nudged me into the kitchen ...

 

onion and potato finely sliced in a large bowl

sprinkled with salt

plenty of spices of coriander, chilli and turmeric added

mixed together

covered and left to rest

then hand blended with chickpea flour www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/doves-farm-organic-ch... and sprinkles of water until happy with the consistency

handfuls of the mixture submerged into a wok of very hot oil

slid each handful of spicy mixture down the side of the wok to slowly enter the hot oil

cooked a few at a time
