This does a far better job than the microwave. If you find a toaster, great! You need to invest in some toaster bags first. These ingenious inventions catch any grease to ensure none falls in the toaster.
You may have to cut the bhajis in half so they fit in the toaster. But trust me, anything is better than the microwave. Yes, you can make onion bhajis in advance. You can store the bhajis in the refrigerator or the freezer depending on how far in advance you want to make them. To reheat them, either use the oven or refry them. To store onion bhajis, wait for them to cool then put them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Lining the container with a paper towel will help soak up excess moisture and keep the bhajis crisp. For longer-term storage, you can freeze the bhajis. Do single layers separated by a paper towel. This helps to prevent soggy, greasy bhajis.
At room temperature, bacteria can rapidly replicate on your bhajis and render them unsafe to eat. To freeze onion bhajis, lay them out on a baking tray in a single layer and flash freeze for hours. This quick freezing will help them retain their texture and stop them from sticking together.
If I pop them in the microwave, they will be thoroughly heated and safe to eat, but really soft and squishy. If I stick them in the toaster, where I can fit two on each side, they'll be really hard to get out and make the toaster greasy. I tried laying the toaster on the side to turn it more into a grill, but given the state of the toaster, that created a lot of smoke from bread crumbs inside it now resting on the lower heating units, so that's no good because of its safety implications.
Serve with raita , if you like. Onion bhajis are best eaten on the same day they are made but if you have any leftovers you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Leftover onion bhajis are great cold the next day with leftover Raita dip. Or you can warm thoroughly through in the microwave and serve. To freeze; pack the cooled bhajis in a plastic container and freeze for up to one month. Allow defrosting overnight in the fridge.

How can I reheat those fritters to get them at least a little bit crispy on the outside without an oven or pan? If the bhajis fit into the toaster slots, toaster bags should work. They should work for samosas too. Most supermarkets sell them, there are lots of brands available on the High Street or online.
You could try a microwave browning, or crisping, dish I'm just trying to give you search terms here. It will absorb microwave energy, and become hot enough to crisp your Bhaji some way, if you give it a turn, and while you're at it, pop the door open to let the steam out. Warn anybody sharing the kitchen about it though, just in case they grab it without thinking, and make a dry tea-towel or oven-glove available, so you can handle it.
