The Onion Bhajis We Refuse to Be Without

There are some recipes that quietly become non-negotiable, and these onion bhajis are firmly in that category. They started as a simple, no-fuss snack and somehow turned into an essential part of curry night. To the point where, honestly, I now refuse to have a curry without them.

What makes these bhajis so good is how little effort they actually require. No specialist equipment, no resting time, no complicated steps. Just everyday ingredients, a quick mix, and a short fry until golden and crisp. They’re crunchy on the outside, soft and spiced in the middle, and dangerously easy to keep eating straight from the pan.

Whether you’re serving them as a starter, piling them next to a curry, or sneaking one while “testing” the batch, these onion bhajis are a total crowd-pleaser and a firm favourite in our kitchen.

You’ll find the full recipe below. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you once they become a permanent fixture!
