Onion Bhaji

I have wanted to try this Indian dish for a long time. It is called "Onion Bhaji", but in our language, I jokingly named it "Soğan Bacı" (Onion Sister). It is tastier than onion rings.

Ingredients

• Large onion 1 red, 1 white
• Cilantro 1 bunch
• Green hot pepper 1 pc
• Garam masala 1 tsp (can be substituted with red pepper flakes)
• Paprika 1 tsp
• Garlic powder 1 tsp
• Salt 2 tsp
• Chickpea flour 3/4 cup (can be substituted with regular flour)
• Rice flour 1/4 cup (can be substituted with breadcrumbs)
• Corn or sunflower oil
• Water as needed

For the Raita sauce

• Sour cream (20%) 1 cup
• Cucumber 1 pc
• Mint 1 small bunch
• Cilantro 1 small bunch
• Lime juice
• Salt to taste

Method

1. 1.Chop the listed ingredients for the onion bhaji and add them to a bowl.
2. 2.Add a little water to create a batter consistency and mix well.
3. 3.Fry in oil until golden brown.
4. 4.To prepare the Raita sauce, grate the cucumber and squeeze out its juice.
5. 5.Add the remaining sauce ingredients to the cucumber and mix. Enjoy!
