Note -
1. The second version of spring onions bhaji is called paatichtya kandyacha zunka. Again, it is further subdivided into a) with besan & b) with ground chana daal.

2. For this bhaaji, I used spring onions as available in the American supermarkets. i.e. they have very tiny onion buds as opposed to my picture here.
