Quick onion and cheese bhaji (Veg)
Ingredients
140g/5oz flour
2 eggs
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tbsp milk
100g/4oz red onion sliced
50g/2oz brie
salt
freshly ground black pepper
pinch chopped coriander and chives
500ml/17fl oz vegetable oil for frying
Preparation method
-
Heat the oil in a heavy-based sauce pan or wok on a medium heat (Gas 3/electric 120). It is important not to fry these on too high a temperature or they risk breaking apart. To test if the oil is ready, drop in a tiny amount of the batter. If it bubbles and floats to the surface then the oil is ready.
-
Beat together the flour, egg, curry powder, chilli powder, milk, salt and pepper.
-
Mix in the sliced onions and continue to gently beat, making sure not to crush or mash the onion slices.
-
Next, take about a tablespoon of batter and press a cube of brie into the centre.
-
Using another spoon, scoop the batter off the first spoon straight into the oil. Repeat until all batter is used.
-
Fry until golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain on kitchen paper.
-
Season well and sprinkle with the chopped herbs.
