Step 1
In a bowl, toss sliced onions with chickpea flour, minced green chile, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 2
Add 3 tbsp water, 1 tbsp at a time, mixing gently until the mixture holds together but stays loose and crumbly.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F (or until a pinch of flour sizzles immediately when dropped in).
Step 4
Drop spoonfuls of the onion mixture into hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Transfer bhaji to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with cool yogurt, tamarind chutney, and lime wedges.
