2 Onions
1 Cup Gram Flour
1/2 Tsp Ground Coriander
1/2 Tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 Tsp Hot Chilli Powder
1/2 Tsp Tumeric
1/4 Cup Water
Finely slice two onions, put to one side.
Add all dry ingredients into a large bowl, mix throughly, add water to form dryish paste (bit stickier than filler in consistency)
Add onions to paste and squeeze the liquid out of them, mix so covered in paste and can be bound together easily.
Shape into bhajis with hands.
Either deep fry (make sure oil is hot enough to brown a small piece of bread instantly - too cool and they will fall apart when cooking) or shallow fry in a decent amount of oil turning once.
Serve with Mango Chutney or Mint Raita (greek yoghurt mixed with finely chopped fresh mint or if you dont feel like chopping, a lug of mint sauce)
Easy and identical to the curry house, give it a go.

God I love making these! Although the house does smell like the Biplob Tandoori for a good week afterwards when I do them. They are so easy (you have to take care with a wok full of boiling oil!)
I usually put a pinch of salt in the batter mix too - just a personal preference. It's worth experimenting to find your perfect recipe, but I couldn't believe how simple it is. Try other veggies too - okra, potato, cauliflower etc etc all give great results.
Edited to add, a large teaspoon of cumin seeds in the mix is also a great addition!
