Hi Supermoms,

My mouth is watering as I am writing, editing this famous Street food of Mumbai. 

Kanda Bhaji /Bhajia/ Bhajji are fried Onîon fritters that are so crunchy,yummy and would elevate you to a different level when have it with a hot cup of Chai or Coffee. 

Every place has it's own unique way of making these fritters. Today, I am going to share with you the way of making these fritters in the Bombay Street Style!!!!

Green Chutney and Garlic powder are served as accompaniments. I served it with hot and spicy tomato sauce as no one at home was ready to wait for the Chutney!!!! It was that tasty!

                         

                          

 The beauty of this Street food is it's simplicity!!!!

CHEF TIPS:

1. Cut the onions in the way show by me as this is the most important variation in this dish. 

2. The right  temperature of oil for frying the Bhaji can be found by dropping a small piece of the bhaji mix. If you hear a sizzling noise and the fritters come to the surface instantly, then the oil is ready for frying.

3. You can fry some green chillies and serve it along with the fritters in the STREET style fashion.

HAPPY COOKING!
