Steps
For coconut raita: Cut the cucumber in half and scoop out the seeds. Grate into a bowl and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
Add the yoghurt, coriander and cumin powder, salt and pepper and the grated coconut and chopped mint. Squeeze in the lemon juice to taste. Mix well and serve.
For the bhajis: Sift the flours into a mixing bowl. Add the turmeric, cumin powder, chillies, ginger, garlic and coriander.
Add the melted butter and lemon juice, then whisk in the beer, pouring as you whisk. Mix in the sliced onions with your hands.
Heat your fryer to 180C and shape the bhajis using your hands. Fry your bhajis in batches for around 3-4 minutes depending on the size, until crispy and golden.
