Onion Bhaji Burger

1 Courgette grated

1 large red onion thinly sliced into strips

2 tsp paprika

2 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp chilli flakes

75 g gram flour (aka chickpea flour)

1 juice lime

2 tbsp water

large pinch salt

500 ml cooking oil (optional)*

Method:

• Heat 500ml of cooking oil (I use sunflower) in a small but deep pot (aim for 3 inches deep of oil). You can skip this stage if you want to cook them in less oil (follow step at the bottom) but they won't come out as crunchy.

• Now in a large mixing bowl grate the courgette, add in the sliced onion, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp coriander, 1 tsp chilli flakes, juice of lime, 75g gram flour and 2 tbsp water and mix

• In your hands shape the mix into burger shapes

• Now test the oil is the right temperature by dipping a wooden spoon inside, if it bubbles around the spoon the oil is ready to use

• Carefully place 2 burgers at a time into the oil to fry for around 2 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and place onto kitchen roll and dab off any excess oil

• Place into your burger bun and serve with lettuce.

*Can also be baked in the oven for a reduced oil version.
