Heat 500ml of cooking oil (I use sunflower) in a small but deep pot (aim for 3 inches deep of oil). You can skip this stage if you want to cook them in less oil (follow step at the bottom) but they won't come out as crunchy.
Now in a large mixing bowl grate the courgette, add in the sliced onion, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp coriander, 1 tsp chilli flakes, juice of lime, 75g gram flour and 2 tbsp water and mix
In your hands shape the mix into burger shapes
Now test the oil is the right temperature by dipping a wooden spoon inside, if it bubbles around the spoon the oil is ready to use
Carefully place 2 burgers at a time into the oil to fry for around 2 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and place onto kitchen roll and dab off any excess oil
Place into your burger bun and serve with lettuce. You could always use my Cooling Vegan Tzatziki as a dipping sauce!
Cooking with less oil
Simply heat a frying pan with a little oil and fry the bhajis on either side until golden (note: they won't come out as crispy)
OR you could try baking these in the oven!
