Notes
How To Bake Them
If you don't want to fry the onion bhajis, you can bake them in the oven instead. To do this, I preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, gas mark 4) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Then I spoon equal sized onion bhajis onto the parchment paper and bake it in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until crispy, browned and cooked.Nutrition
