Steps to make Onion Pakoda
- Cut 3 medium onions in half and then thinly slice it
- Cut 6 green chillies finely, we like it spicy!
- Cut 1/2 cup fresh coriander finely
- Cut 5 sprigs curry leaves finely
- Cut 2 inch ginger finely
- Transfer the cut onions to a deep dish or parath
- Add the cut fresh coriander
- Add the cut curry leaves
- Add cut ginger
- Add cut green chillies
- Add 2 cups besan or gram flour
- Add salt per taste
- Add 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- Add 15 broken cashews
- Start mixing it, you need to squeeze and mix
- This helps in getting all the natural moisture out
- Add 2 tablespoons of boiling oil
- Mix using a spatula, when it is cool start mixing it with your hands
- You can add a sprinkle of water for binding (special guest appearance mummy!)
- I would suggest oiling your hands before shaping
- Start forming rounds, I made them a small lemon size
- Start heating the oil now
- Transfer the round pakoda’s into the hot oil
- You need to cook them at a slow low heat
- This helps in cooking it on the inside and giving the perfect crunchy texture outside
- I got around 20 pakoda’s with this quantity!
- Enjoy them hot in the rainy season! I had them with green chilli and tomato sauce!
