Gorgeous recipe - the nicest bhajis any of us have ever tasted and so simple to make. I made a couple of small changes - also added 1/4 teaspoon mild chilli powder and chopped the onion very fine rather than grate having once had an unfortunate experience with grated onion! I also found it needed a drop more water than the 4 tbspn. Congratulations - an absolute winner
