Method
Toss the onions in a bowl with the salt and leave for 5 mins. Meanwhile whisk the flour, baking powder and spices in another bowl. Add 100ml water to make a thick batter. Mix in the onions, chilli and coriander.
Pour the veg oil into a deep pan, ensuring it’s no more than a third full. Heat to 180C or until a piece of onion sizzles when dropped in and browns within 20 seconds. Lower in a few tablespoons of the mixture at a time and fry for 3-4 mins, then turn using a spider and cook for 1-2 mins more. Drain on kitchen paper and season. Keep warm in a low oven as you continue cooking or reheat later in an air fryer.
Blitz the ingredients for the green chutney with a pinch of salt and a splash of water in a small blender until smooth. Scrape into a small serving bowl.
Mix the raita ingredients in another bowl and season. Toss the salad ingredients in a third bowl. 5 Serve the bhajis in the middle of a large serving platter or board with the bowls of green chutney, salad and raita alongside, plus extras like mini poppadoms, mango chutney and lime pickle.
