Description :

Onion pakoras or onion fritters is a popular Indian street food. In India pakoras are usually served with some fried salted green chilies and a green chutney or sweet chutney. This is the most easy recipe  and a sure one to be prepared on a cold, rainy day.

Ingredients

Onion                                 4 medium  Sliced

Curry leaves                       2 sprig

Cilantro (ch opped finely)  few sprig 

Salt to taste

Turmeric powder               ¼ tsp

Red chili powder               1 tsp

Carom seeds (Ajwain)       ¼ tsp

Chickpea flour(Besan)       5 tablespoons

crushed coriander seeds (Dhaniya) ½ tsp

                                          oil for frying

     

METHOD

1. Take sliced onion in a bowl.
2. Add chopped  cilantro, curry leaves, salt  and ginger paste.
3. Mix it very well.
4. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder and carom seeds(Ajwain).
5. Then add besan(Chickpea flour). Mix it well, so all the flour and masala coat the all sliced onions. Adjust the besan quantity to coat the onions. Make sure all the sliced onion should be coated with flour.
6. Leave it aside for 20 minutes. Soon onion will start to leave its water and flour mixture will get wet. We don’t want to make batter of flour so do not add any extra water. Water from onion is enough, 
7. Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat for deep frying. Fry it till it becomes golden brown on all sides. Turn them around while frying for even cooking. Deep fry few pakoras at a time. Do not overcrowd them.
8. Then remove it on paper towel lined plate, and serve hot as tea snack .
