MIX THE INGREDIENTS - Add all the dry ingredients - flour, spices, salt, onion, and coriander leaves.
Mix them with clean hands and allow them to sit for at least 20 minutes ( or longer - up to 1 hour )
ONION BHAJI BATTER - After 20 minutes, squeeze the onions with your hands to release the water. Combine the mixture together to form a thick batter. If you feel the batter is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until the batter coats the onions well. If you feel, during the process of frying the batter has gone a bit watery, you can add 1-2 tsp of gram flour too.
AIR FRY ONION BHAJI - Preheat the Air fryer to 400F / 200C for 10 minutes. Brush the air fryer basket with oil. Add small lumps of the fritter batter into a basket without touching each other. Brush a little oil on the top. Air fry for 10- 12 minutes, rotating at halftime. Brush again with a little oil.
Air fry until evenly brown and crispy. Check if they’re cooked inside and the bhaji is not wet. Transfer to a serving plate.
SERVE - Serve immediately with your favorite coriander chutney, ketchup, tamarind chutney, or raita.

Notes
The longer you leave the onions to rest in the dry flour, the lesser water you will need. Also, the cooking time will also be lesser. STORE & REHEAT - Store any leftover onion bhaji's in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer and cook at 350F / 176C for 10-15 minutes
