Onion Pakoda Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Onions

First, put the sliced ​​onions in a large bowl. Add salt and mix well, then let it sit for 5 minutes. The salt will draw out some moisture from the onions, which helps in making a good batter.

Step 2: Add the Spices

Now add green chili, grated ginger, red chili powder, turmeric, carom seeds (ajwain), and chopped coriander to the onions. Mix everything well.

Step 3: Mix in the Gram Flour

Now gradually add the gram flour (besan) and rice flour. Add very little water, or only as needed, because the onions have already released some moisture. The mixture should be slightly thick and sticky.

Step 4: Heat the Oil

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the pakoras will burn, and if it's not hot enough, they will absorb too much oil.

Step 5: Fry the Pakora

Take small portions of the mixture with your hand or a spoon and drop them into the hot oil. Fry the pakoras over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally.

Step 6: Remove Excess Oil

After frying, remove the onion pakoras and place them on a kitchen tissue to absorb the excess oil.
