Step 1
Toss onions, flour, garam masala, turmeric, and green chili in a bowl. Add 3 tbsp water and salt until batter clings to onions.
Step 2
Heat 1 inch neutral oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a pinch of batter sizzles immediately, ~3 minutes.
Step 3
Drop spoonfuls of onion batter into oil; fry 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.
Step 4
Transfer bhaji to a paper towel–lined plate. Warm curry in a small pot or microwave until steaming.
Step 5
Plate rice, curry, and bhaji. Drizzle bhaji with tamarind or lime juice and serve immediately.
