Garam Garam Cha ani kanyachi Bhajji

It's a rainy evening here in Bangalore.. and what else could I possibly dream of other than having "Garma Garam Chai and Onion Bhajji"! Hot hot tea and onion pakoras! Garam Garam Cha ani kanyachi Bhajji !! (Konkani )

To make Bhajji's:
Ingredients: (Serves 2)
1/2 cup besan
3 small onions/2 medium onions
1/2 tea spn coriander powder or few coriander leaves
1 tea spn chilli powder or 2-3 green chillies
pinch of turmeric
a pinch of cooking soda (optional)
oil for deep frying
salt to taste

Method:
Chop onions into thin slices. Chop the green chillies and coriander finely.

Put the onions in a bowl, add the chillies and coriander. Add the besan powder, turmeric, soda and salt.
Mix well. Add a little water to make a thick batter.
(If the batter becomes too watery then add some more besan.)

Cover the bowl and leave the mixture for 10 mins.

Heat oil in a kadai. Add a drop of the besan mix to the oil to test if the oil has heated up. If the drop does not stick to the bottom of the kadai then the oil is heated enough.
Now take tiny rounds of the onion-besan mix and put in the oil. Fry till they turn brownish. Remove on a paper/tissue roll to absorb the extra oil.

Enjoy by making a sandwich or just with Tomato Sauce and hot cup of Chai!

Chai aur Bhajji Ho Jaay ?
