You’ll be surprised how easy it is to whip up our crispy onion bites, which are made with chickpea flour and flavoured with Knorr Brown Onion Soup and a big whack of spice. These bhajis are great for vegetarian snack platters – serve piping hot with a sweet chilli dipping sauce.

Ingredients

1 large onion, thinly sliced
100 g chickpea flour
5 ml baking powder
1 x 50 g sachet Knorr Brown Onion Soup
15 ml Rajah Hot Curry Powder
5 ml Robertsons Turmeric
2.5 ml Robertsons Crushed Chillies
+- 100 ml of cold water
50 ml oil for frying
150 ml Knorr Creamy Sweet Chilli Salad Dressing

Cooking Method

Soak the sliced onion in water for 5 minutes. Strain.
Mix the chickpea powder, baking powder, Knorr Brown Onion Soup powder, Rajah Hot Curry Powder, Robertson’s Turmeric and Robertson’s Crushed Chillies together. Add enough cold water to make a thick batter.
Mix in the soaked onions.
Heat oil in a pot or pan for frying. Drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil to check the oil temperature. It is hot enough if the batter bubbles and rises to the surface of the oil.
Scoop a tablespoon of batter, using another spoon gently scoop it off into the oil. Allow it to cook until golden and cooked through.
Serve the bhajis warm, with Knorr Creamy Sweet Chilli Salad Dressing.
