    Cheesy Onion Fritters | Stuffed Kanda Bhajji | Pyaz Pakoda

    Kanda Bhajji is a Marathi term for onion fritters. Kanda means onion. Bhajji or bajjia is fritter. So this is basically onion fritters.

    There are different ways to make onion fritters. Here I have made it in two ways: one with cheese Stuffing & the second without the cheese. Check out the plain onion fritters here. Both are delicious in a different way. Ingredients and batter are the same for both fritters.

    Fritters are normally made with gram flour or besan. To make it crispy, I always add some rice flour to my fritter batter. Rice flour makes the fritters crispy and hence tastier.

    You can also make fritters with a mixture of refined flour and cornflour. Read my recipe of Chinese pakoda which is one of the most trending posts on the blog.

    Read other appetizers like cheesy potato bites, paneer corn seekh kabab, veg seekh kabab, potato lollipop, lauki aloo bhujia, etc. on the blog.

    These fritters make awesome snacks for our rainy day tea time or any evening snacks option. Also, this is one quick party appetizer for your kitty parties or get-togethers.

    Well, this is not a very healthy food option for every day but occasionally we can make this bhaji or pakode. Kids also love this.

    Kanda Bhajjia in two ways

    Second batch of kanda bhajjia I have made are normal ones without cheese stuffing. These are same available as street food. By adding salt it releases water and hence while frying it turns crispy. Also rice flour makes it even more crispy. I will update it in few days as a separate post.
