Video Player
"This recipe is the best of both worlds between a flavorful Indian onion Bhaji and a gourmet corn pancake traditionally prepared in the South of the United States. Your friends and family will say that the real secret is in the cilantro, lime, and sriracha mayonnaise dip. This creamy dip perfectly balances spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors. It’s the perfect bite to share at parties, potlucks, and happy hours and why not for the Super Bowl? In all cases, this snacky snack will steal the show."
