Onion Bhajis are my all time favourite Indian side dish.. a curry isn’t complete without one. This recipe is not only Slimming World friendly it is completley Syn Free.
Bhajis are so much easier to create than you would expect and once you have mastered making them from scratch you will never buy from a supermarket ever again. With simple ingredients, these bhajis are guilt-free and vegetarian-friendly. You don’t need to buy any fancy ingredients, it is fairly likely that you will have most of the ingredients in your cupboard already.
The key to a great onion bhaji is to slice the onion very finely – this is important so the onion will have plenty of time to cook. No one wants rock hard onion in their bhaji! This is a messy recipe to create, so if you have kiddos who love Indian food this is a great one to get them involved in.
