Where I lived in England and Canada these were called Onion Bhagi's (spelling varies). This recipe was good. I'm sure there are many ways to make these and I thought I followed this as directed, but something was missing. I will keep searching for the "perfect" recipe. - 29 Sep 2008
Does it have to be Gram Flour or can you use any? - 21 Feb 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Very Tasty and easy to do. Had a bit of trouble finding the right flour by the right name. Ended up with Chana Flour which is Besan which is chick pea. - 30 Dec 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
