Slimmers Friendly Mixed Vegetable and Onion Bhajias/Pakoras

Jump to Recipe

Everyone loves Bhajias especially Onion bhajias. But we try not to eat them regularly as they are deep fried. This year, I am trying to be healthy and eat as much oil free food as possible.  These oil free bhajia/Pakoras turned out to be quite tasty and you can eat a few  without worrying about the calories

Prepare the vegetables by grating the potatoes and onions.  Transfer them into a bowl

Add the chickpea flour and all the spices including the soda bicarbonate.  Add enough warm water and to make a thick batter.

Transfer a spoonful of the batter into silicon cupcake cases or anything similar.  If you use normal muffin tray, you may wish to grease it first.

Transfer the cupcakes to the Oven and cook these at 170 degrees for 20 minutes – checking half way.

Serve this hot and enjoy them guilt free.
