Outside Southern and Western India, such preparations are often known as pakora.
Bhajis are a component of traditional Gujarati Marathi, Tamil, Kannada and Telugu cuisine served on special occasions and at festivals. They are generally served with a cup of coffee, tea, or a traditional serving of yameen. They use banana peppers for making mirchi bhajji.
Its variations include the chili bajji, potato bajji and the bread bajji (or bread pakoda). Another version is called bonda (in south India), vada (in Maharashtra) and Gota (in gujarat). Bonda has potato or mixed vegetable filling while Gota is made by green fenugreek leaves.
Onion bhajis are often eaten as a starter in Anglo-Indian restaurants before the main course, along with poppadoms and other Indian snacks. They may be served with a side of salad and slice of lemon, or with mango chutney, and are traditionally made to a mild taste.[1]
The Guinness World Record for the largest onion bhaji is held by one weighing 175.48kg (386lb 13.8oz) made by Oli Khan and Team of Surma Takeaway Stevenage on the 4th of February 2020.[2]
