Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced onions, chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, and salt.
  2. Add water gradually to form a thick batter that coats the onions well.
  3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the onion mixture into the oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Fry the pakodas until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Remove the pakodas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

Tips

  • For added flavor, you can include chopped green chilies or coriander leaves in the batter.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure crispiness.
