Fry the bhajis and wrap up!

Heat 5cm of oil in a wok or deep pan. Add a drop of the bhaji mixture– when it rises to the surface, bubbling and browning, the oil is hot enough. Add heaped tbsps of the mixture to the oil, a few at a time, and cook for a few minutes, turning occasional­ly, until browned and crispy (about 5-6 minutes). Lift onto kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.
