  I used brown onions as I didn't have any red ones, but they turned out very well. I would say at least as good as from a takeaway - and possibly better!

  MY husband made these and they were an absolute hit. My daughter who as always claimed she hates onions will now eat onions no problem because she loved this dish so much.

  how about re-heating? I'd like to make these for a house party but make ahead then reheat in time for the buffet. I'd be inclined to flash at a high heat in the oven to make sure they retained a crunch, what do you think?

  Have made twice now and both times turned out better than restaurant versions - much lighter. Raita was ok, though I also served with chilli sauce for a bigger kick.

  As good as any Indian restaurant ~ Wow Tip ~ don't make them any bigger than the recipe recommends as they can be stodgy inside.

  Quite nice... although I also like to add Turmeric to the batter to give it a gorgeous colour when you bite into the Bhaji. I found this Raita recipe too bland. I add a spice mix of ground mustard seeds, cumin, coreander powder and black pepper to the yoghurt... much tastier!

  I made these bhajis to take to my daughters as an evening snack. Everyone loved them, and i will most certainly make them again.

  I have made this recipe three times now, the best home made bhajis ever. Brilliant the next day cold as well. Reduce the water slightly for a thicker batter, easier to manage when dropping mixture in the pan. used rogan josh jar curry paste, delish ! shallow fried and made larger flatter bhajis dijestive biscuit size, cooked well. Going to send my sister Beky in spain some gram flour, I am really excited about this recipe and want her to try it.

  Made these twice now and kept 2 back (which was difficult!) and froze them. One week later I thawed them for an hour and put then in a very hot oven for 3 mins and came out lovely and crispy and just as good as the evening I made them. So yes these are a fantastic buffet addition that can just be pulled out of the freezer 1hr before you want to serve.

  Excellent. Tastes so much better than ones bought from supermarkets. Almost on par with Indian takeaway bhajis. All the family love them, and have requested the recipe.

  Wow, these are fantastic - light and crisp and delicious. They freeze like a dream and, once thawed, crisp up again it a hot oven for 4 mins. What a doddle!! Will always keep some in the freezer now.

  Very good. the best homemade bhajis I have managed to make. Very moorish and sooo much better than shop bought ones. Have made a big batch and frozen to reheat as needed as well as using fresh. Works equally well either way.

  First time trying anything like this and I can only conclude that i did something wrong. Probably the wrong consistency of batter as in the (undoubtedly hot enough) oil nothing held together or crisped up and the result was a gloopy curried onion mess. I'm going to give it another go, however, and any pointers would be great.

  Made these tonight for my wife's birthday and so very glad I did. Absolutely amazing and will definitely make again. I was initially worried about the chilli but after tasting realised I had nothing to worry about.

  Can you use cornflour instead of chickpea flour? I can't get hold of any in Italy :(
