Oh YES, you heard me right... onion bhajees, a dieter's nemesis. Not these onion bhajees though. These bhajees are crispy on the outside and moist and flavourful on the inside, they are full of flavour and spice with just a hint of caramel sweetness. The ultimate challenge here, turning a greasy, fattening and oh-so-delicious takeaway favourite into something homemade and unrivalled in delciousness that it ultimately fat-free! This entire recipe weighs in at a mere 4 weight watchers points. I made twelve small bhajees, so you can eat three for a one point snack. This is so simple that I suspect they will become a regular healthy snack around here!
WW Onion Bhajees
(makes 12)
1 large onion, roughly chopped
3-4 tbsp chicken stock
4 tbsp flour
4 tbsp water
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp tandoori curry powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp tumeric
pinch Splenda/sugar/sugar substitute
pinch ground coriander
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh coriander stalks, finely chopped
Cooking Spray
Pre-heat oven to 200C/400F.
Sauté the onions in the chicken stock until the stock is gone and they are just barely browning. Remove from heat.
Mix flour, water, spices and coriander to form a smooth paste. Add onions and season.
Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and spoon the onion mixture into the twelve muffin cups. Bake for 10-15 minutes until beginning to crisp. Flip over bhajees and bake for a further five minutes until golden brown and crisp on the outside. Garnish with torn coriander leaves. Serve as is or with raita and mango chutney.
WW Points: 1 per 3 bhajees.
