    Hello Andrew, I saw your take on onion bhajji and tbh it was a pretty good first attempt :D
    if you're willing to try again might I suggest a few things that will help make it better?
    In India onion bhajji or any fritter of same sorts is basically made in sizes that could be finished in a bite or two . This also helps it to cook faster hence, served as a fast food here. The consistency of the batter should be slightly thinner than pancake mix so it doesn't run off the veggie easily and you can also feel free to use just water instead of eggs since eggs can tend to not cook through sometimes . And lastly i would recommend serving with mint chutney . p.s. :- You can also use different veggies with the same batter like cauliflower, potato,spinach bell peppers and even chilies(bonus if you stuff chilly with masala potato) . I really enjoy watching you cook and appreciate your cooking tips

      This comment really sums up what I wanted to change about Andrews onion Bhaji….
      The eggs are usually not put in Bhajjis as it gives off a very egg-y taste, which as said in the comment doesn’t cook through….
      We usually use water and gram flour along with the spices, along with a teaspoon of oil sometimes depending ont he vegetable we’re using…

    So the way I learnt to make onion bhaji from my mom: no egg, and you actually let the onion leach out its liquid (often as the only liquid used but can be augmented with water a tbsp at a time). This leads to less batter clinging to it. It should almost seem too dry but as long as you can spoon it into the oil and it holds together it'll turn out fine.

    My tip - chop the onions and simmer them gently on a low heat in a frying pan filled with unrefined sunflower oil for several hours. You then get caramelised onions and an excellent seasoned oil, both of which are great in other recipes.

    I love how onion is pretty much the most universal vegetable in the world.
    Everyone has it. Asians, Africans, Europeans, Scandinavians, North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand.
    I don't think there is a single place in the world where people have not found an onion in.

    Awesome video. I love onion bhajias. They are literally my favorite thing in the world. Comfort food at its finest. Rainy days with some ginger-cardamom chai.... mmmmhmmmm.
    We don't use eggs though, and we do let the onions sit in the batter letting the batter loosen up a little. I actually like my bhajias a little smaller and thinner, and not dense, so that they get crispy. I also like mine with red onions, for a little bite, but *any* onion is gonna be delicious. Onion bhajias are the best. Every body has their own preference on spice blends too, just test what works for you.
    If you don't want to use onions try potatoes or cauliflower or broccoli or carrots or even carom leaves (omg these are soooo good).

    I don’t know if I have ever told you, Alvin, Inga, Rie, Steven, and Adam (if I have left anyone out, I apologize) that the thing I truly love about your work is that with the exception of Rie, none of you are actually chefs (I cannot recall anyone other than Rie holding the official education, forgive me, if I recall incorrectly).
    Watching the videos you make (and others at BuzzFeed productions) can be so wonderful, because in theory, anyone could do what you are doing. It just takes a passion for food, and a willingness to fail. Practice truly does make perfect, and you folk prove it all the time!
    You are also a functional example of apprenticeship. Formal education is not necessary in order to master the subject, it is just a great foundation and head start.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

  • @snakexpert552
    @snakexpert552 3 роки тому +8

    For the Pakora (last recipe) it's best if you fry in a shallow, flat pan, so instead of having a ball of battered onion, lay it down flat like you're frying a McDonald's hash brown, flip, and then remove from the oil, and add final seasoning (I like Chaat Masala). It's an easier technique, more crispy, uses less oil, and takes less cooking time

    P.S- Julia Child reminded me of Julie and Julia which reminded me of Meryl Streep's character as Julia! She was incredible, she was so good as Julia Child.
    Fun fact- Meryl Streep even adapted to Julia Child's breathing pattern!

      eggplant!!!! I grow them too! Hope this helps:
      My mom bakes them (usually they’re done 5 at a time) every week in olive oil + garlic, you just cut them in half, make a grid pattern with the knife without cutting it all the way and bake for 40-ish minutes at 200°C (400 F) or until they become tender and we use it for EVERYTHING
      sandwiches, main course with other roasted veggies and a grain, as a side itself, paste for veggie burgers, pasta topping, pizza topping, options are endless! if u end up doing it, hope you like it!
      Also great tip for saving them up for longer: caponata, Italian recipe of a sort of pickled eggplant but instead of vinegar, oil
