Onion Bhajiya/Pakora (Non-Fried)

Onion bhajiya doesn’t need any introduction; even a thought of hot crispy bhajiya can make anybody drool! However, we all try to have them not too often because they are deep fried.

This recipe will let you enjoy your favourite bhajiya more often without feeling guilty as they can be prepared in a fraction of the amount of oil used for regular deep-fried bhajiyas and there is hardly any difference in taste!

Time: 15 minutes

  5. 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  6. 1 teaspoon ginger paste

Method
