Step 1:
You will need:

* 1 large onion , sliced
* 200 g chickpea flour
* 1 tsp baking powder ,
* 2 Tbsp rice flour
* ½ tsp chilli powder

* tray lined with paper towels

Step 2:
Heat the oil
Put the oil into the pan and place it on a medium-high heat.
Step 3:
Make the batter
In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, baking powder, chilli, turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt and the water. Mix it together well and add the sliced onion.
Step 4:
Check the oil
Check the temperature of the oil by dropping a little batter into it. If it fries slowly, it is at the right temperature.

Carefully drop spoons of batter into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, which will make them stick together. Fry them for about 1-2 minutes or until the batter becomes a lovely golden brown. Remove them, place them to drain on the paper-lined tray, and repeat until all the bhaji are cooked.
