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!
