Bhaji aka Pakora is a spicy Indian snack usually made with vegetables. The vegetables are first coated with a spiced besan/gram flour batter and then deep fried until golden brown.To make asparagus bhaji, cut asparagus(take as many as you want) into bite size pieces.
Make the batter. I don't measure anything when I make the bhaji batter. So here is the approximate measurements of ingredients.
Besan/Gram Flour - 1/2 cup
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder - 1/4 tsp, optional
Asafoetida - a pinch (or use a tsp of ground garlic)
Salt - to taste
Some people also add a little rice flour to the batter.
Mix all these together with just enough water. The batter should have a consistency of thick idli batter.
Heat up oil for deep frying. Dip asparagus pieces in the batter and add it to the hot oil one by one. Fry a little at a time without overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite dip.
