Onion Bhaji

Yield: 4 servings

Bhaji:
1 extra large red onion, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, grated
1 big handful fresh cilantro, chopped

Batter:
4+ cups flour
water, as needed
1 tablespoon salt
oil, for frying


Combine onion, carrot, and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix batter ingredients to make up a basic flour and water batter. Thick enough to stick to the onion mixture, thin enough to pour. Combine batter with veggies and toss around a bit. You may need more batter. You've got enough batter when the veggies stick together nicely.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the pan. When oil is hot, *carefully* place a big spoonful of the mixture into the pan and flatten it slightly. Repeat until pan is full. After 3-4 minutes, check the bottoms of the bhajis. When they are nicely browned, flip them over and fry for an additional 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat steps 8-9 until mixture is gone.
