Ingredients

• 200g onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
• 60g gram flour
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp coriander seeds, crushed
• 1 tsp deseeded and chopped green chilli
• 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• Salt
• Low calorie cooking spray

Method

Place the onions, gram flour, lemon juice, cumin, coriander seeds, green chilli, chopped coriander and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and add a few tablespoons of water to form a thick batter that coats the onion. Leave to rest for 15 minutes and then, using your fingers, mix again to combine thoroughly.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/Gas 7. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and, using your fingers or a dessert spoon, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to give you 12 bhajis.

Spray with low calorie cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and serve immediately sprinkled with the paprika.
