Onion Pakoda

One rainy day my husband for craving for the hot pakodas and a cup of tea. So I decided to make the onion pakodas. The same batter mix can be tried with other vegetables like potatos, brinjal or even with the spinach. So many options, try all at same time if feasible and you will have a platter full of different types of pakodas, great when entertaining more people.

Ingredients

Besan - 2 cups
Salt
Red chilly powder
Chopped green chillies - 6 med.
Chopped curry leaves
Onions - 4 or 5
Water
Oil

Process

1. Put the besan in a big bowl. Add salt, red chilly powder, chopped green chillies and curry leaves. Mix well.
   
   
   
   
2. Start heating the oil for frying in a deep pan.
3. Thinly slice the onions and add them to the besan. Mix all the ingredients.
   
   
   
   
4. Now add water little by little and stop when the batter is thick enough to be fried. If the batter becomes too water to hold onto the onions add a little more besan to thicken it.
   
   
   
   
5. When the oil is hot enough for frying, take small quantity of the batter and put it in the oil. Fry till golden brown.
   
   
   
6. Take them out and put on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
7. Serve hot with ketchup or green chutney if you prefer. Enjoy
