Monsoon is  started here in Pune and my celebration begins :). Curry Nation blog becomes my passion and I didn’t notice that I have crossed 200+ score here. YES, i am writing my 216th post today.This means I have shared 215 different recipes .. uhhhhhhhh I enjoyed sharing and sharinggg so I didn’t realize that I have crossed 2 milestones…:)

Coming to the recipe back,

the onion pakoras also taste good with Pav and can be sandwiched between pav just like Vada Pav and some chutneys(tomato chutney).

you can also bake the onion pakoras. I have never tried baking pakoras, but have seen some recipes. baked pakoras will taste differently than fried ones.

I have added some rice flour which also helps to make it crispy. I have added ajwain (carom seeds) to make it easy digestion. As pakoda are deep fried and sometimes besan can become heavy on the stomach.

Ingredients  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 large onion, sliced
• ▢ salt to taste
• ▢ ⅓ cup gram flour /besan
• ▢ a pinch of turmeric powder
• ▢ ½ tsp coriander powder
• ▢ a pinch of red chili powder, optional
• ▢ ¼ tsp baking soda, optional
• ▢ oil, to fry pakoras
• ▢ 2 tbsp water, as per your need

Instructions

• Slice your onions thin. 
• Add turmeric powder,red chili powder,coriander powder in sliced onions and mix well.
• add a pinch of asafoetida.
• add salt to taste.
• Add rice flour and mix.
• Add 3 tbsp of gram flour first and mix well.
• Add 1 tbsp Water and mix.
• Chek the batter consistency, If it requires water then add it by spoon.If you like thick and fluffy pakora then add gram flour as well by spoon.
• Heat oil in kadai /deep frying pan.
• Fry the pakoras until golden brown on medium low flame so that it cooks well.
• Serve with chutney and hot tea.

Notes

• The onions have to be sliced thinly and not thickly as thin slices will get cooked faster than thick slices. if the slices are thick, then while frying the chick pea flour or besan gets cooked but the onion slices remain half cooked.
• Some don't like the taste and flavor of baking soda, So they can avoid it.I am using baking soda to get extra fluffiness in pakoras.
• In the batter, you can also add 1 or 2 teaspoon of oil. this makes the onion pakoras crisp and it absorbs less oil while frying.
• The temperature of the oil has to be correct while frying. the oil should not be too hot or cold. If it is hot, then the outside of the pakoras will get fried but the inside will be under cooked. if it is not hot, then the onion pakoras will absorb oil while frying and will be too oil-laden once fried.
