Onion Bhajias

You will need

• 4 large onions sliced thinly, I used the food processor on the slicer blade because lets face it no one wants to thinly slice 4 onions
• 2 cups of gram flour, you more than likely wont need this much
• 2 teaspoons of chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric
• 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon of garam masala
• 2 cardamom pods, seeds crushed
• a little water to make the mixture sticky
• tablespoon of salt 

Either using a sharp knife or your blender make your your onions are thinly sliced. In a bowl mix together your spices and salt , the salt will draw out moisture out of the onions. Add your crushed seeds, mix well until ingredients are well combined. Add enough cold water to make a paste then stir in more water to make a thick batter that coats the onions.
Heat enough oil in a large saucepan , Make sure your oil is hot otherwise your onion bhajias will absorb too much oil and they'll become soggy. Test your oil by putting a cube of bread in it and if it browns in around 30 seconds your oil is perfect.
You can form them into small little patties and let them firm up in the fridge , or just form them as the oil heats up.
Fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown turn over during cooking to ensure all is evenly golden brown.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot.
