This snack is an awesome combination of raw carrots and onions with a dash of spice and ofcourse flour to bind it!!!!
Carrots are rich in fibre and antioxidants – They can be eaten raw as in salads, boiled and cooked as in soups and various desserts as well!!
This Carrot Onion Bhaji can be served as an entrée or a snack during tea time –
This entrée is the most popular and loved entrée in our family.
We would never go without ordering this entrée at the Indian Restaurant which is stone’s throw from our place that we frequent quite regularly!!
Tastes great when you deep fry it as once in a way indulgence in deep fried dishes is explicable!!
