Ingredients

  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup gram flour (besan)
  • 1 green chilli, chopped (optional)
  • ½ tsp red chilli powder (optional)
  • ¼ tsp turmeric (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander (optional)
  • A few curry leaves, torn (optional)
  • Salt, 1 tbsp oil, 2–3 tbsp water

Steps

  1. Rub salt into the sliced onions and rest them for 5 min so they release water.
  2. Add the besan, spices, chilli and herbs. Mix into a thick, sticky batter with only a splash of water.
  3. Line the basket with perforated parchment or grease it well. Drop small clumps in and spray with oil.
  4. Air fry at 190°C for 10–12 min, flipping halfway.
