What is "bhaji"?

Bhaji is a type of Indian snack or appetizer that features vegetables that have been battered and deep-fried. The most common type of bhaji is onion bhaji, which is made with thinly sliced onions that are mixed with a spiced batter made from chickpea flour, rice flour, and a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The mixture is then shaped into small balls or fritters and deep-fried until they are crisp and golden brown.

Other types of bhaji can be made with vegetables such as spinach, cauliflower, or potato, and are a popular vegetarian option in Indian cuisine.
