Recipe: Onion and Potato Bahji

I decided to make dinner, and I wanted to go all exotic. I love oriental food because of all the spices and great taste. I was looking up recipes of onion bahji’s, one of my favorite appetizers. I am a sucker when I go to Indian restaurants and I always want to get me some of those things. They are so addictive! It’s unbelievable. As I was browsing the net for recipes, I found a lot of videos as well of how to make those little suckers. I also found some interesting ones where potatoes are used. So I came up with a little nice mixture for the batter, and spiced it up more. I didn’t want to add cilantros or parsley. Too much work and I am lazy! I really hate chopping stuff. Onions were worst! I have super sensitive eyes when it comes to onions. So I remembered once that I read that chewing gum and chopping onions will not make you tear. AND IT WORKED! Wohoo. I chewed gum and diced those onions and I did not cry! GENIUS!

Recipe:

2 eggs beaten.

1.5 cups of white flour

1 tbs cayene pepper

1/4 tbs salt

pinch of black pepper

1/2 tbs cumin

1/2 ground coriander

1/2 tbs water

4 small potatoes

2 small onions

Mix the batter together and cover the potatoes and onions completely with the batter before frying. Make sure you fry the potatoes in small batches over medium heat. It takes about 12 – 15 min for raw potatoes to cook over medium heat. When frying the onions, it will only take 2 – 3 minutes to get golden brown. Onions cook a lot faster! Taste better too. My fav!

Dipping sauce:

1 tsp regular mustard

1 tbs mayanoise

3 or 4 drops of tobasco sauce

Chopped parsely

Chopped green onions for decoration
