Stages of cooking
-
Mix red onion, yellow onion, salt, jalapeno, garlic, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, and cumin in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Add chickpea flour and water. Stir to combine into a thick batter. Add more water if necessary. Let mixture rest for 10 minutes.
-
Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into the basket and flatten. Repeat as many times as your basket allows without the bhajis touching.
-
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes. Mist the tops of each bhaji with cooking spray. Flip and cook 6 additional minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
