Steps

1 Done	Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, then stir in just enough cold water to make it to the consistency of double cream
2 Done	Stir in the spices to make a smooth paste
3 Done	Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 180C, or fill a large pan a third full with oil and heat – a drop of batter should sizzle as it hits the oil, then float
4 Done	The mixture is sticky so get a bowl or cup of cold water next to the hob to wet your fingers and a plate lined with kitchen paper to place the cooked bhajis on
5 Done	Stir in the onions so they are well coated
6 Done	Wet your hands and shape tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture into blobs. Drop carefully into the oil, but do not overcrowd the pan, stir gently to stop them sticking Cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden, then drain on the paper
