| Onion Bhajis
Ingredients 3 large onions 50g (2 oz) chickpea flour 50g (2 oz) rice flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp ground turmeric 1/2 tsp chilli powder 1/2 tsp salt 3 tsp mustard seed Vegetable oil - enough to fill 1/3-1/2 of a small saucepan Instructions 1) Peel onions and cut them in half. Slice the onions 'face' down on a chopping board, so you get long strips. 2) Fry the onions in a little oil until softened. 3) Mix flours, baking powder, salt, spices and mustard seeds in a bowl. Add enough water to mix to a smooth paste - just a few tablespoons. Stir in the onions. 4) Heat the oil in a saucepan, until a piece of onion sizzles when you drop it in. 5) Form the onion mixture into small balls using two teaspoons, and place in the hot oil. Cook the pakora in batches of about 4, and drain on kitchen roll. Eat hot or cold. |

| I know onion bhajis aren't at all authentically Indian, but they're still nice. Use this batter to make any pakoras - sliced aubergine or sliced potato (keep skin on) ones are good. Just dip slices into batter. |
