Ingredients:

Serving

150 g chickpea flour
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp bicarbonate of soda
25 g rice flour (1 oz)
1 tsp fennel seed
1 tsp cumin seed
2 green chilies, finely chopped
2 large onions, sliced into half rings and seperated
15 g fresh coriander , including the tender stalks, finely chopped (1/2 oz)
200 ml water (7 oz)
sunfloer oil or vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Directions:

Sift the chickpea flour , salt, bicarb and rice flour into a large bowl. Add the fennel and cumin seeds. Mix thoroughly.
Add the chillies, onions and coriander.
Gradually pour in the water and mix until a thick better is formed and all the other ingredients are thoroughly coated with it.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or saucepan to 180°C / 350°F , or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. ( If the oil is not hot enough the bhajis will turn out soggy).
Add as many 1/2 tablespoons of the batter as will fit in a single layer, without overcrowding.
Reduce the heat slightly and cook the bhajis for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the heat and drain in kitchen paper. Keep hot in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
