Method:

1. Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix in just enough water to make a batter with the consistency of thick pancake batter.
2. Heat about 1 cm of oil in a frying pan, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil and spread gently. Leave sufficient space between the pancakes to allow for easy simmering.
3. Turn over when the bhajias are set and golden brown on the underside.
4. Fry the second side and remove from the pan once golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.
VARIATIONS
Add 250 ml shredded lettuce or spinach to the basic recipe and omit the grated potato.
Also use the batter to coat thinly sliced potato or brinjal and fry as for a fritter.
