RECIPE: BHAJI, INDIAN-STYLE ONION RINGS

Ingredients For 2 Servings

3 to 4 cups vegetable oil for deep frying, or as needed

2 cups chickpea flour

1 teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon cayenne

¼ teaspoon turmeric

1½ teaspoons salt

1½ cups water

1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia), peeled, cut into ½-inch thick rings

Maya Kaimal Spicy Ketchup or make your own spicy ketchup

Preparation

1. HEAT the oil in a wok or 4-quart pot over medium heat, to 350°F.

2. MIX the chickpea flour, cumin, cayenne, turmeric and salt in a medium bowl. Add the water and stir until batter is formed. It should be just thick enough to coat an onion ring without sliding off too quickly. Adjust with more water if necessary.

3. DIP the onion rings into batter and coat each thoroughly. Deep-fry the rings, in 3 or 4 batches, in the oil until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

4. SERVE with spicy ketchup.
