Ingredients

  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon coriander

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • ½ teaspoon cumin

  • cup chickpea flour (besan)

  • 4 tablespoons water, or as needed

  • cooking spray

Directions

  1. Mix red onion, yellow onion, salt, jalapeno, garlic, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, and cumin in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Add chickpea flour and water. Stir to combine into a thick batter. Add more water if necessary. Let mixture rest for 10 minutes.

  2. Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into the basket and flatten. Repeat as many times as your basket allows without the bhajis touching.

  4. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes. Mist the tops of each bhaji with cooking spray. Flip and cook 6 additional minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
