  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 jar drained and rinsed chickpeas

300g finely sliced or mandolined Brussels sprouts

1 finely sliced red onion

145g gram flour

130ml water

2 tsp cumin seeds

2 tsp ground coriander

2 tsp hot curry powder

1 tsp garam masala

½ tsp turmeric

½ tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)

½ tsp baking powder

1 bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped

1 green chili, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Neutral oil for frying

3 tbsp mango chutney

200g coconut yoghurt

Large handful fresh mint leaves

200g yoghurt

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

1-First, rinse and finely shred 300g of Brussels sprouts to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture in your bhajis. In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, Brussels sprouts, onion, fresh coriander, green chili, spices, baking powder, gram flour, salt, and pepper for a flavorful base. Gradually add 130ml of cold water to the mix, stirring until you get a thick batter that holds together well, then season it thoroughly.

2-Heat your neutral oil to around 170ºC for the best results. Drop small handfuls of the batter, about the size of a golf ball, into the hot oil and fry for 3 4 minutes until they’re crisp and golden. Once done, drain them on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.

3-For the mango dip, simply stir 3 tbsp of mango chutney into 200g of coconut yoghurt for a sweet and tangy contrast. For the mint dip, blend a large handful of fresh mint leaves with 200g of yoghurt and the zest of 1 lemon until it’s creamy, adding seasoning as needed. Serve the hot bhajis right away with both dips to enjoy the full flavors.

Notes

🌡 Use a food thermometer to keep the oil at the right frying temperature (around 170ºC).
🤲 If the batter feels loose, gently squeeze it to firm up before frying.
🥄 Fresh herbs like coriander and mint add vibrant flavor and freshness to the dish.
