I loved when mama made her chickpea and spinach fritters. When she made torta de acelga, there sometimes used to be some leftover mixture. I decided why not combine that chickpea mixture with an Indian favourite into a starter snack to kick off dinner.

Method
Thinly slice the onion and grate the ginger then mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, except for the oil.
Slowly pour the water in and combine the ingredients (chickpea flour etc), if you find the mixture is looking too runny, do not pour in all the water.
Heat up the oil over a medium – high heat in a deep pan and using a ladle, pour a spoonful or two at a time. Fry until golden and crisp then remove. Lay the cooked bhajis on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil.
