Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Onion Bhaji Batter

   Sieve 1 cup gram flour, 1 tbsp corn flour, and 1/4 tsp baking powder into a bowl. Add red chilli powder to taste, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp roasted & crushed cumin & coriander, and salt to taste. Mix the dry ingredients well. Gradually add water, little at a time, while whisking until you have a thick batter. Add 2 sliced onions, green chillies to taste, and 2 tbsp fresh coriander to the batter. Mix well to combine.

2. 2.Fry Onion Bhaji

   Heat oil for deep frying in a pan. Carefully add a tablespoon of the onion bhaji mixture into the hot oil. Once the bhaji sets from one side (after 4 to 5 minutes), turn them over. Continue turning them in the oil every so often, until they are golden and crisp. Remove the fried bhaji from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat this process until all the onion bhaji mixture is used up.

3. 3.Prepare Potatoes for Fritters

   Peel and slice 2 potatoes into 1cm thick slices. Wash the potato slices and keep them aside.

4. 4.Prepare Potato Fritters Batter

   Sieve 1 cup gram flour, 1 tbsp corn flour, and 1/4 tsp baking powder into a separate bowl. Add 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp roasted & crushed cumin & coriander, and 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste). Mix the dry ingredients well. Gradually add water, little at a time, while whisking to make a coating batter of medium consistency.

5. 5.Fry Potato Fritters

   Dip each potato slice in the batter, ensuring it is properly coated from all sides. Deep fry the coated potato slices in hot oil for 7 to 8 minutes per side. Turn them occasionally and fry until they are golden and crispy. Drain the fried fritters on a kitchen towel.

6. 6.Serve

   Serve the hot onion bhaji and potato fritters with mint sauce, ketchup, and sweet chilli sauce.
