Onion Bhaji

 
Chickpea Flour/Garbanzo Flour/Besan Flour (pronounced Basin) is the nectar of the Gods :-)  It is AMAZING and you can do so much with it.  We discovered if a few months ago when we were testing out pizza dough recipes.  Well Rob has been experimenting this morning & made Onion Rings this morning.   This is what it is called 'officially' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhajji

So see you can be grain/sugar free and still enjoy yummy foods!  Rob is the MASTER of making our meals delic, and I just LOVE that about him.

The recipe is really simply
Besan (chickpea flour)
Water
Seasonings (he used garlic/onion, cumin)
you can also add Baking Powder to make it a little fluffier.  (We use our baking powder substitute).

He has also made turnips bhaji, jicama bhaji

Here's an indian recipe for it:
