Bhajis, also known as bhajias, are a popular Indian snack consisting of deep-fried, spiced vegetables or lentils. Originating in the Indian subcontinent, this crispy and flavorful dish has become a beloved street food and appetizer around the world.

Chefs and home cooks alike take pride in perfecting the balance of spices and textures in their bhajis, with some renowned restaurants in India and the UK known for serving exceptional versions of this dish. The key to a delicious bhaji lies in the precise combination of ingredients, including onions, potatoes, spinach, and a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
