Onion bhajis

Method

1. Roast the cumin seeds in a dry, medium-hot pan until aroma is released. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

2. Mix together the ground almonds, cumin seeds, turmeric, salt, baking powder and chopped chillies.

3. Beat in the egg yolks and cream.

4. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and fold into the almond mixture.

5. Separate the onion slices and gently fold into the almond batter, a third at a time, until all the onion is incorporated.

6. Cover the bottom of a frying pan with groundnut oil to about half a centimetre depth and put over a low to medium heat.

7. Using a dessertspoon, fry spoonfuls of batter on both sides until deep brown and crisp.

8. Serve hot and sizzling straight from the pan sprinkled with chopped fresh coriander and chopped fresh mint.
