Kerala Style Simple Onion Bajji
Crispy, golden, and gone before they cool down — these fried snacks are the kind of thing that appears with evening tea and disappears within minutes. Best eaten hot, right out of the oil.
Ingredientsfor 2 servings
- Onion : 1 nos
- Flour : 1 tsp

Step 2
Cut the onion into thin circles, dip them in the mixture.

Oil temperature is critical. Too hot and the outside burns before the inside cooks. Too cool and the snack absorbs oil and turns soggy.
