Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: Asian-Inspired
Ingredients: 3 Red Onions; 2 Tsp Cumin Seeds; 2 Tsp Ground Coriander; 2 Tsp Garam Masala; Bunch of Mint; Bunch of Coriander; 150g Coconut Yogurt; 4 Brioche Buns (Or Vegan Alternative); 4 Tbsp Gram Flour; 1 Tsp Baking Powder; Small Knob of Fresh Ginger; Mango Chutney (To Serve); 1/2 Cucumber; Salt; Pepper; Vegetable Oil

Step 1.

Grab a bowl. Add finely sliced red onions, cumin seeds, garam masala and ground coriander. Add tsp grated ginger, a tbsp of chopped coriander stalks, baking powder, gram flour, salt, and 6 tbsp of water. Mix everything together until it resembles a chunky oniony batter.

Step 2.

Make your raita. Grab a bowl. Add coconut yogurt, a large handful of grated cucumber (squeeze gratings to get rid of excess water), a handful of chopped mint and coriander, salt and pepper. Mix everything together.

Step 3.

Heat some vegetable oil in a pan. Add a tablespoon of your bhaji batter. Flatten it out and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Cook 2 bhajis per burger.

Step 4.

Cut your bap in half and whack it under the grill to toast it.

Step 5.

Assemble time. Add a big dollop of raita to the bap. Add a bhaji. More raita and another bhaji. Top with a big dollop of mango chutney and some mint leaves. Take a big bite and enjoy!

Switch out the brioche buns for a normal seeded bap to keep it vegan!
