Bhajias

By Zorah Booley

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 15–20 minutes

Ingredients

300 g spinach
1 potato, grated
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1 onion, grated
½ t garlic powder
½ t paprika
1 t salt
½ t black pepper
250 g chickpea flour
2/3 cup room-temperature water
3 cups cooking oil, for frying

Method

1. Cut the spinach into small pieces, it can be quite rough. Place in a bowl and add the potato, chilli, onion and spices and mix.

2. Add the chickpea flour and water and mix. The batter should be quite wet and loose.

3. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture into the oil. The oil should be warm/medium heat so it will cook the bhajias through and not burn them.

4. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining batter.
