2. Add a splash of oil to a frying pan and quickly cook the red onion for 1 minute or until slightly softened.
3. Mix the onion, sweet potato and kale into the batter so that everything is well coated.
4. Heat 1cm of oil in the same frying pan until shimmering. Add handfuls of the bhaji mix to the hot oil.
