Gluten Free No-Onion Bhaji Recipe (low FODMAP + dairy free)

Say hello to my gluten free no onion bhaji recipe! It's a little like a courgette fritter, but with bhaji spicing! It's low FODMAP and dairy free too.
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 400 g courgette (spiralized)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 120 g gluten free plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp asafoetida (it's a spice!)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp curry powder (ensure it's low FODMAP if you need to)
  • sprinkle of chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (ensure it's gluten free)
  • sprinkle of salt
  • garlic infused oil (for frying)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 170C.
  • Spiralize your courgettes into courgetti. You can use a spiralizer or if you don't have one, you could use a peeler and then cut the strips to be thinner.
  • A lot of water comes off of courgette so I often squeeze mine out in kitchen roll before I cook with it a lot!
  • Place your courgette in a bowl and add your flour, asafoetida, cinnamon, curry powder, baking powder, chilli flakes and salt. Mix together so your courgette is nicely coated.
  • Add your beaten eggs to your bowl and coat the courgette.
  • Coat the base of your frying pan with a thin layer of garlic infused oil and put on a medium/high heat. When the oil is hot enough you can add a little bit of the mixture and it should sizzle.
  • Once the oil has heated, dollop a large spoonful of the mixture into the frying pan and slightly flatten with the back of the spoon. If your frying pan is large enough, you can do 2-3 at a time.
  • Fry on each side for about 30 seconds or until it starts to turn golden. Use a spatula to very carefully turn them over (I often find I need to add a little extra oil every few bhajis).
  • Once each bhaji is cooked on both sides, place them all onto a baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve hot or cold. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I serve mine as a side with a minty yoghurt dip.
  • I also serve them up with a curry.
  • I also like to have them cold if I have them left over, they are delicious snacks on-the-go.
  • You could also serve them as part of a delicious brunch with poached eggs on top.
