"Onion bajhis are delicious as a snack or as a starter to an Indian meal. I personally don’t like my bhajis too hot so I only use a ¼ teaspoon of chili but if you like yours hot then just up the chili. Make sure the onions are completely separated before adding to the flour as it helps to ensure even coating of the batter and even cooking."

I have always loved my food (not just my own but anyone's who offered it to me),,,  then five years ago I was diagnosed with ceoliacs disease and all notion of ever having my favorite foods again went out the window. However, nessesity really is the mother of invention; instead of feeling sorry for myself and my dietry limitations,,,I got creative. I am in the process of starting my own business, which initially was exclusively targeted at ceoliacs, but thanks to my new husband and his diabetes, we hope to create food that is not only gluten free and sugar free or low carb, but will also cater for those amongst us with a whatever attitude to healthy food...Yes I do have one left at home,,bring on the empty nest.
