A crisp, golden exterior that, when bitten, yields a soft, richly spiced and seasoned middle: eating bhajis is like sinking into beautifully aromatic pillows of goodness – comfort food at its best. And yet there is a wholesomeness to these ochre-stained morsels, with the turmeric-hued broccoli and sweet but tart pomegranate salad. They have a goodness that nourishes the body just as the fatty, sweet strands of onions feed the soul. A wonderfully devil-may-care January dish to gobble in front of a good movie.
