Crispy vegetarian bhajis, ideal for beginning an Indian culinary journey.
Ingredients:
  • 500.00 ml besan flour
  • 2 small Lebanese eggplant, thinly sliced
  • 1 brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 50g baby spinach leaves, trimmed
  • 1 bunch coriander, leaves chopped
  • 1 long green chilli, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 30.00 ml ground cumin seeds
  • Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
  • 400ml Greek Style Yoghurt
  • 5.00 gm caster sugar
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, sift the flour and create a well in the center. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of cold water. Add eggplant, onion, spinach, 1/3 cup coriander, chili, chili powder, and 1 tablespoon cumin. Stir until fully combined.
  • In a large, heavy-based saucepan or wok, fill one-third full with oil. Heat over medium heat until hot. Spoon mixture into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, flip, and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Transfer to a wire rack over a baking tray using a slotted spoon.
