A bhaji is a small, hot, fried cake of vegetables, cooked in batter — that mix of flour with egg and water or milk that turns crisp in oil. The one English speakers meet most often is the onion bhaji: a round, golden, spicy ball or cake, sold as a starter in Indian restaurants, especially in Britain. You eat it with a dip, or next to a curry. Though actually, in India the Hindi word can sit a little wider and mean a vegetable dish, not only this fried cake. In English, if someone says bhaji, they almost always mean the fried one, and very often the onion kind. It is food-talk, informal, and friendly — a menu word, not a school-essay word.
印度炸蔬菜餅(英語裡多半指 onion bhaji,洋蔥炸餅)
組成Borrowed from Hindi भाजी (bhājī), “fried vegetables.” It does not split into English pieces.
