Place all the dry ingredients together, add the onions and mix well. Leave to stand for at least 30 minutes but for best results 60 minutes.
Now squeeze the onion mix to release water and combine the mixture with the Lion Sweet Chilli Sauce to create a thick batter. If it feels a little dry, add a little more Lion Sweet Chilli Sauce, or if it is wet add a teaspoon of gram flour.
Pre-heat the air fryer to 200°C/400°F for 10 minutes. When heated, brush the basket with Original Whirl Butter Alternative
Place small lumps of batter into the basket, leaving space between each one.
Brush each one with Original Whirl Butter Alternative, then air fry for 20 minutes, flipping half-way through and coating each one with Original Whirl Butter Alternative.
They are ready when the center is no longer wet and they are golden and crisp.
