If we're getting an Indian takeaway we always get a mushroom bhaji, but we try to make takeaways a rare occasion, so wanted to come up with a recipe for us to cook at home. That's where this bad boy comes from!
It's so quick and easy to make, there's no reason not to take your fakeaway game to the next level by adding a side dish.
If you stumbled across this expecting something that resembled an onion bhaji, we're sorry! We have no idea why two pretty different dishes share a name - if you know why, we'd love for you to share in the comments.
We don't think an Indian feast is complete without some bread - you may want to check out our ultimate vegan naan bread recipe.
