Dry Bhaji mix
« on: May 07, 2019, 03:38 PM »
I made some onion Bhaji's up last weekend and mixed up the spices and covered the onions before adding rice flour and Gram flour, no water was used i let the mix sit for ten mins to allow the salt to draw moisture from the onions.
Doing this i found i didn't have the situation where the mix seemed to keep getting wetter, for me the mix seemed a bit more stable.

Good tip thanks. Normally I end up with more spices stuck to my hands than stuck to the onion strips.

What should the ratio be between gram flour and onion, by weight please? Spices, etc I can probably eyeball, but it seems to me the key to success will be getting the basic proportions right.
