Step 1
Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F over medium-high. Test with a single onion slice — it should sizzle aggressively immediately.
Step 2
Toss sliced onions, chickpea flour, green chili, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl until onions are evenly coated.
Step 3
Drop spoonfuls of mixture into hot oil and fry 2–3 minutes per side without stirring until deep golden and crispy all over.
Step 4
Lift bhaji onto a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5
Serve hot with mint chutney and tamarind chutney for dipping.
