Instructions

Step One

In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, turmeric, and cumin and whisk until well combined.

Step Two

Add in the Thai chilies, and cilantro, and mix well.

Step Three

Add enough water to make a thick batter - the amount of water will vary depending on which type of flour you are using.

Step Four

Add in the onions and use your hands to toss the onions until thoroughly coated in the batter.

Step Five

Heat about 1 inch of oil in a pan until it reaches 350 degrees. Once at temperature, add mounds of the onion batter, making sure to not overcrowd your pan. Fry until golden brown and delicious on each side.

Step Six

Once the Bhajis are golden brown and ready, remove them from the oil and place them on a draining rack. Season with a tidbit of salt. Serve hot. Enjoy.
