Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed for preparing Onion Pakoda,
- Onion - 2-3 (medium sized and sliced)
- Gram flour - ½ cup
- Rice flour - ¼ cup
- Fennel seeds - 1 teaspoon (slightly crushed)
- Garlic - 1/2 teaspoon (grated)
- Ginger - 8 numbers (crushed)
- Green chilli - 1 or 2 as preferred (chopped)
- Red chilli powder - 1/2 teaspoon or as preferred
- Asafoetida/ hing - 1/2 teaspoon
- Coriander leaves
- Mint leaves (optional)
- Curry leaves
- Salt as required
- Water - 1-2 tablespoons
- Oil as required for frying.
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, add long and sliced onions, fennel seeds, ginger, garlic, green chilli, red chilli powder, mint and coriander leaves, asafoetida and salt.
- Mix the contents with your hands. Once it is mixed you can see that the onion slices are separated.
- Add gram flour and rice flour to this mixture and mix well again.
- Meanwhile take a wide pan with oil required for deep fry and heat it at medium to high flame.
- Take around two tablespoons of hot oil and add it to the mixture. Gently mix while it is hot.
- When the oil is ready to fry, sprinkle around two tablespoons of water on the prepared mixture.
- Now mix all the contents well and take a few portions of it in hand and gently keep dropping them in the pan. Fry these at medium flame.
- Wait for a couple of minutes and gently stir.
- Once the colour of the pakoda turns golden brown colour take it out and place it on a strainer or tissue cloth to remove excess oil.
- Repeat the process for remaining mixture. Make sure to sprinkle water only on the moment before frying them. Otherwise it will result in too much water in the mixture as onions already have water content in it.
- Finally, fry some curry leaves separately and garnish on top of the prepared Onion Pakoda.
- This can be stored in an airtight container for a week.
