Step 1
Thinly slice the 2 large onions and place in a large bowl. Add the 1 cup chickpea flour, 2 tbsp rice flour, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp chili powder, and 1 tsp salt. Mix well with your hands, squeezing the onions to release moisture and form a sticky batter. If too dry, sprinkle with 1-2 tbsp water.
Step 2
Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until a tiny piece of batter sizzles and floats, about 350°F (175°C).
Step 3
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, about 4-5 at a time, without crowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Step 4
Remove the bhajis with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 5
Serve hot with chutney or ketchup. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful fritters!
