Crispy onion fritters

Its been raining nonstop the past week. A hot cup of tea and bhaji while watching the rains is heaven. Without much ado let me share with you moms recipe which makes the most amazingly crispy kekda bhaji as we call it :) Ingredients 3 medium onions (cut into thin long slices) Red Chilli powder Turmeric/haldi powder Gram flour/Besan Salt as needed 1 tsp Carom seeds/Ajwain Oil for deep frying Add salt to onions, mix well and keep aside for 20-30 minutes. Onions will release water. After 30 minutes or so, to this add gram flour, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and carom seeds/ajwain and mix well without adding any water. Mix only that much gram flour as is necessary. If we add water the crispiness of the fritters is lost. So if needed in more quantity take in more onions. The batter should not look like batter for other fritters/bhajis rather it should be more like partially batter-coated onions. Add oil in a pan for deep frying and place on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot add with your bare hands the batter coated onions into the oil and fry till they turn golden brown. Serve with ketchup.
