About This Dish

The British fell so hard for Onion Bhaji they made it a national treasure. Our bhajis feature thinly sliced onions tangled in spiced chickpea batter, fried until gloriously golden.

Chickpea flour creates a naturally gluten-free, crispy coating. We add cumin seeds, cilantro, green chilies, and ajwain for depth. Each bhaji maximizes crispy surface area. Served with tamarind chutney.
