Am not much of a fonder of fried items. Due to my 6 year old son's constant nagging for pakoda, I tried this onion pakoda.. It is absolutely mouth watering with hot tea on a cold weather ! ... And very easy to make snack when compared to its counterparts like bhajiis or bondas !.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Yields : 7-9 pieces
INGREDIENTS:
Onions - 1 1/4 cup thinly sliced
Besan/Chickpea flour/kadalai maavu - 1 cup
Red chilli powder -1/2 teaspoon
Ajwain seeds/omam - 1/2 teaspoon
Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - as required
Water - 1/4 cup
Asafoetida powder - as required
Oil - For deep frying
METHOD:
1. Slice onions thin, lengthwise as shown in pic.
2. In a large bowl, taken besan. Add salt,red chilli powder,garam masala,ajwain seeds.Sprinkle some asafoetida powder.
3. Add sliced onions to the besan and mix the contents well.
4. Keep it covered and allow it to rest for about 30 minutes. Because, the onions would let out some water. After 30 minutes, open it. You can see that mixture would be little wet. Now, add some water and mix well to a thick paste. Do not add more water. The batter should be thick in consistency.
5. Now heat oil in a pan, and once it is hot, take some spoonful and deep fry them in oil, till they turn golden brown.
6. Tasty Onion Pakoda is ready !. Have it with hot tea !
