Onion Bhaji and coriander indian chicken

Do I even have to mention that my family is gastronomically pretty unadventurous?! My spice shelve freaks them out, my mom supervises my cooking whenever she sees me using something she has never heard of before.
But this time, I was home alone.. And need I say that the chicken, which was supposed to be just regularly fried, got a completely new outfit - the indian one.
