Bhajis are a very popular Indian food which can be enjoyed as a starter, accompaniment to a meal or more popularly as a snack. They are spicy, similar to what westerners know as fritters, and can be made from a variety of vegetables including onions, potato or cabbage. However, in the Assam region of India the most common ingredient is Houttuynia cordata leaves.
