bhaji
Fried vegetable snack
Bhaji is an Indian snack of vegetables—often onion, potato, or spinach—mixed with spiced chickpea batter and deep-fried.
The crispy fritters are popular as street food and appetizers in South Asian cuisine: We ordered onion bhajis as a starter.
Also spelled bhajia or bhajiya.
