Crispy Air Fryer Onion Bhaji

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Onion Bhaji.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and toss in your sliced red onion, yellow onion, a sprinkle of salt, minced jalapeño, and minced garlic.

2. Step 2

   Add in the fragrant spices: coriander, chili powder, turmeric, and cumin.

3. Step 3

   Give everything a good mix until all the ingredients are beautifully coated and bursting with flavor.

4. Step 4

   Next, introduce the chickpea flour to the party, and gradually pour in some water while stirring.

5. Step 5

   You’re aiming for a thick batter, so if it feels a bit too dense, don’t hesitate to add a splash more water until it’s just right.

6. Step 6

   Let this vibrant mixture rest for about 10 minutes; this little pause allows the flavors to mingle and deepen.

7. Step 7

   While that’s happening, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

8. Step 8

   To ensure your bhajis don’t stick, lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to shape your bhajis! Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the basket, gently flattening each one a bit.

10. Step 10

    Make sure to leave space between them so they can cook evenly.

11. Step 11

    Pop the basket into the air fryer and let them cook for 6 minutes.

12. Step 12

    After that, give the tops of each bhaji a light mist with cooking spray, carefully flip them over, and let them cook for another 6 minutes until they’re golden brown and irresistible.

13. Step 13

    Once they’re done, transfer the bhajis to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil.

14. Step 14

    Repeat this process with the remaining batter, and soon you’ll have a delightful batch of crispy bhajis ready to enjoy!.
