   Crispy Onion Bhajis | Spiced Onion 

2 large onions, thinly sliced

1 cup chickpea flour (besan)

2 tablespoons rice flour

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

In a large bowl, combine sliced onions, chickpea flour, rice flour, cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds, turmeric powder, chili powder, chopped cilantro, and salt.

Gradually add water and mix until the onions are well coated and the mixture forms a thick batter.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat.

Drop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil, frying in batches. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
