In this video I showed you the basics that go into making onion pakoras. If you master these basic steps then you will soon be making the best onion bhajis. Onion bhaji is also called as onion pakora/peyaji in Bengali, peyaj being onion in Bengali. It is served as a snack in India with a cup of tea to go with it but it can also be served as an appetizer with the main meal. I frequently have it as a side with dal and rice.
Ingredients required for making onion bhaji -
* 1 large and 1 medium onion. (can use red/yellow/white onions)
* 1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds (kalonji/kalojeere in Bengali). You can also use cumin seeds instead. Sometimes even carom seeds (ajwaiin) are used. Carom seeds have thymol in it so you can substitute it with dried thyme because thyme also has thymol, so it goes very close to carom seeds in terms of flavor.
* can even add a half a teaspoon of grated ginger and half a teaspoon of grated garlic
* 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves (optional). Can even add parsley.
* 1 to 2 finely chopped green chillies (optional)
* 1 teaspoon salt
* half teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder (optional). Can add any chilli powder or paprika
* 2 tablespoons rice flour
* 1/4 th teaspoon baking soda
* 5 tablespoons gram flour (besan). Please do not stick to this proportion. You may need more or less depending on the amount of water released by the onions. Add a tablespoon at a time and work up to a sticky mass.
* oil for deep frying
These taste best as soon as they are made and will start losing their crispiness with time, but if you made it little early you can also put them in a 375 F oven for 10 mins before serving You can serve it with green chutney/ketchup/have it as is.

This is a good recipe and I make it regularly. I like to batch cook as I live on my own, so a good tip is to under cook (just starting to colour) any your not going to eat at once. These can be kept in the fridge for a few days or frozen and then quickly fried when needed (defrost first if frozen).
Thank you for this great tip.
As the other person said, great tip...I also live alone, so this is helpful.
@@elijahheyes9061 I wonder how they would go reheated in an airfryer.
Never be too shy to comment! I requested this video in a comment and now it's here on the channel for us all to enjoy! She is also the only youtuber i have seen after all my research on this dish who actually gives you an oil temperature for frying , this takes out the guess work finally . Thank you for the video and thank you for listening to our requests , we love your curries , especially the simple approach and straight forward display .
I am a Canadian who now absolutely loves curries of many kinds , i love the indian dishes , all the sauces and gravies , the spices and aromatics , i have been blessed by God to enjoy all this , keep up the goodness scraping , till next time ............bye BYEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I remember you saying “I want to make pakoras for my wife” and from your comment I understood you want to make the best pakoras for her. So here you go 😀. Remember to serve her piping hot pakoras right after making them. Hope she likes it. Looking forward to your feedback.
Oh Bumbi, you are an absolute star! For all the little explanations about how thinly to slice the onions, how much besan flour to use, how to fry immediately, what temperature the oils should be and how to test it, etc. etc. etc. I THANK YOU ❤
All these small reasons why you do things are sooooo helpful, and once I hear the reason, it seems so obvious to me! I love pakoras, and have never managed to get them quite right, but armed with this info, I may do better in future. I just wanted to dive into UA-cam and much on some of them with you!!!
Bless you and looking forward to many more recipes (especially vegetarian ones😊) xxxxx
@rbrown6476 thanks for your kind words 🙏🏾
I stopped eating meat about 15 years ago. Indian Food is my best friend. This channel is so good.
Love your cooking
Crispy peyajis on a rainy evening are perfect with chai. If only the rain gods would comply!! ☕💧

Great appetizer
Some amazing tips to make these the best they can be, thank you!
Yummy thanks for sharing
Lovely..Yum❤
Thanks
Thank you chef 👩🍳....you are the best 👌
Tried the recipe today and it was AMAZING❤
Thanks for this video Bumbi, l'm trying to perfect my onion bhaji making as l absolutely love them! Will try your way of making them very soon!
Love this.
I'm going to enjoy making and eating these thanks
I am addicted to your videos Bumbi, you make everything seem so easy. We used to call them pyajoos in Calcutta and were great street food. Here in London although available they are bulky, soggy and just horrible. You have inspired me to have a go. Thanks for posting.
I love pyaji.
I love onion bajis
Me too!
I love this 🙏
I only discovered your channel a few days ago and I really enjoy the way you present recipes in such a warm way with subtle humour. Your great😊
Welcome 🙏🏾, I am glad you are here
It's very nice and crisy
I watched a guest on a program with Madhur Jaffrey who made pakoras very similar to you. I've tried it and it really works. Far better than making a batter and adding onions, etc. and more authentic than something made for British restaurants.
Loved it! Shubho nobo borsho to you and your family.
Shubho Noboborsho 🙏🏾
Good sharing sis..👍👍
Thank you
Very interesting recipe, i'm so in love with your recipes. I will try all of them. Thanks soooo much for the video ❤
Thanks for all your support 🙏🏾
You have a wonderful way of explaining things, fun but straightforward. I would never dare get my fingers as close as that to the oil, two spoons for me. Thank you for your wonderful recipes!
Thank you
Mouth watering bhajis from onions
So happy to see you here pishi . You made my day 💕💕💕💕
Beautifully explained. I’ve never had Bhaji before, it looks so good!
Please do try it.
Great video Bumbi. We just love your Pakoras from your other video. I have made them many times. I have yet to try your cabbage pakoras which also look very delicious 😋Your tips and tricks are always amazingly helpful. Thank you ❤xxx
Try this way as well Emily, you will love it.
I've always wanted to make this but had no idea how to... thanks so much for all your recipes... simply delicious! You explain so clearly it's so easy
Thanks
Excellent recipe
Thanks
👍
I confess sometimes I make a big plate of these and it’s dinner for our movie night 😂😂
I agree using the strainer is the best route as putting them on paper towels to drain seems to make them soggy. Thank you for showing such details! Your way of presenting is why your recipes always turn out so well 💕💕💕
I am so glad you make them and you need nothing else as they fill up our tummies. Thanks Mary.
So yummy recipe
Thanks
Thankyou for the hints and tips Bumbi💖I've tried these before but they were a disaster as per reasons given by you.
I am now tempted to try them again! Love your cooking sense and humour!
Please do try it and let me know

Thanks my friend
Just found your channel a week or so ago and have made a couple of your meals, They taste great, Your cooking is simple yet demonstrates it doesn't take you need to be a chef or make the onion gravy before starting like most UA-cam currry makers. Keep it up.
I am happy that you find my videos useful. Thank you 🙏🏾
Absolutely amazing. Just love onion pakora, as well as chicken!! I really enjoy your videos because they demonstrate the steps to create an amazing dish. Sid and Nicola, Rugby UK.

Hello Bumbi. Greetings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My son would enjoy this recipe as he loves big onions. What can I use to replace gram flour (besan)? Appreciate all your sharings of recipes...😊😊😊
Unfortunately gram flour is the most essential ingredient for pakoras
That is how I like my onion bhajis. All crispy, not soggy in the middle.
Thanks for watching

It's very easy to fry onion 🌰 bhajiya while mixing all ingredients we should not add water 💧 because onion will release its water 💧 to get crispy onion bhajiya we should not add water
I did not add water
Veena Samuel UK
Sorry it's bhajia not bhaji
Bhajji/bhaji/bhajia/peyaji/peyaju/pakora, it has multiple names
New type of food using onion?... Amazing.. But... I don't recognise most of other ingredients 😅..
I have given all options possible. Regarding gramflour, you will get it at any Indian store or online
@@CurriesWithBumbi Thank you Bumbi 🤗
Add some hing
It is called bhajiya or bhhajji..
Bumbi did not add coriander? Did your husband buy you flowers instead?
Hahaha😆, but I added chopped coriander leaves along with the green chillies.
Sorry to admit but very hot oil frightens me.
