- ¼ cup gram flour besan
- ¼ cup rice flour
- 2 green chilies
- 2 inch ginger
- mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Water
Spices:
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

- Peel and thinly slice 2 onions into roundels. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for a few minutes to release moisture.

- Add the sliced onions, raw mango juliennes, chopped green chilies, ginger, and mint leaves to the flour mixture. Gradually add water, mixing until you have a thick batter.

- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F).
- Drop small portions of the batter into the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch each other.
- Cook the bhajias for 12 minutes, turning them over and brushing with a little more oil at the 6-minute mark.
- Once golden and crispy, remove the bhajias from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
