Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss sliced onions with flour, garam masala, green chili, salt, and 3 tbsp water until evenly coated.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a piece of onion sizzles immediately when dropped in.

  3. Step 3

    Working in two batches, carefully slide onion mixture into hot oil; fry 3–4 minutes until deep golden brown.

  4. Step 4

    Use a slotted spoon to lift bhaji onto a paper-towel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt while still hot.

  5. Step 5

    Stir chopped mint into yogurt with a pinch of salt and cumin; serve alongside bhaji for dipping.
