Not only are Chefs onion bhajis healthy, cooked in the oven and eggless, but they are the most DELICIOUS ONION BHAJIS EVER guaranteed!

Chef cooks this onion bhaji recipe almost daily because the taste is that good.

Chef likes to be modest but I have to tell you that these are the best onion bhajis you will ever taste.

The spice measurements are perfect in quantity and blend into such an aromatic flavour. Half way through cooking Chef drizzles some oil on the onion bhajis and this really gives them a deep fried flavour.

If you cook these onion bhajis for friends they would certainly believe that they have been deep fried, yet they are cooked with healthy oil and baked in the oven.

Chefs secret ingredient for this onion bhaji recipe is using buckwheat flour as the taste is absolutely amazing, if you can only find chickpea flour try Chefs other onion bhaji recipe which uses gram flour.

If you give Chef Jeenas Onion Bhaji Recipe a go... I guarantee you will be delighted by the wonderful taste.

Ingredients..
5 Small Onions
5 Tbsp Buckwheat Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Coriander
Olive Oil
1 Large tsp Tomato Puree
1 and 1/4 Shot Glass Measure Water (a small egg cup can be used to measure)

Spices for the Pan..
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
1/4 tsp Cumin Powder
1/4 tsp Ginger Powder
1/4 Chilli Powder

How to make perfect onion bhaji recipe

Cut the onions in half then cut into slices, not too thick nor too thin.

Drizzle a little oil into a large pan/wok and gently cook the onions until they start turning soft and translucent in colour, do not brown them or over cook them.

This should take no longer than 10 minutes, keep stiring the onions so they do not over cook.

When the onions are ready sprinkle in the chilli powder and mix well.

Straight after add the turmeric, cumin, ginger and coriander, stir well again then switch off the heat.

In a bowl place buckwheat flour, salt, coriander and cumin, mix together well.

Now place the onions into the bowl and mix well again.

Once the flour mixture has coated all of the onions place the tomato puree into a shot glass/small egg cup and fill with water.

Mix the tomato puree with the water then pour this into the onion mixture.

Fill the shot glass/small egg cup just one quarter full with water and add to the onion bhaji mixture, stir very well.

The mixture should be wet and easy to stir but not watery or too sloppy in texture.

If you added too much water add a few pinches of flour till you get the right consistency.

If the onion bhaji mixture is a little too thick and dry add a little drop of water at a time till it loosens up.

Do try to keep to Chefs measurements as the bhajis can turn cake like with too much flour and liquid.

Drizzle some oil onto a baking tray, place two tablespoons of the onion bhaji mixture onto the oven tray per onion bhaji - flatten a little with the back of a spoon.

Place into a hot oven at 180C for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes take the onion bhajis out of the oven.

Drizzle a little oil over the tops of the onion bhajis.

Place back in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.

For the full deep fried effect of the onion bhajis you must drizzle on the oil half way through.
