Ingredients3 medium size Onions, finely sliced, 1/2
cup Gram Flour (Besan Flour), 1/4 cup Rice Flour, 1 teaspoon grated
Ginger, 5-7 Curry Leaves, chopped, optional, 1/2 teaspoon, Red Chilli
Powder, A pinch of Baking Soda (soda-bi-carbonate), 2 tablespoons finely
chopped Coriander Leaves, Oil, for deep frying, Salt to taste.How to makeTake
sliced onion in a large bowl. Add gram flour, rice flour, ginger, curry
leaves, red chilli powder, baking soda, coriander leaves and salt. Mix
well using spoon and keep aside for 10 minutes.
Add water
(approx. 1/4 cup) and mix all the ingredients such that sliced onion is
coated well with flour batter. Do not add more water unless required if
batter becomes too watery or thin then pakodas will not turn crispy.
Heat
oil in a deep pan over medium flame. Check whether oil is sufficiently
hot or not by dropping a pinch of mixture in hot oil if it comes upward
immediately, then oil is sufficiently hot for deep frying. Take small
portion of mixture in the hand and gently drop 3-4 small fritters into
the oil and deep-fry until they turn golden brown in colorĀ keep
stirring occasionally in between so that they cook evenly and keep
heat/flame to medium.
Take them out using slotted spoon and drain
excess oil. Place them on paper towel in a plate to absorb excess oil.
Repeat the process for remaining batter and deep-fry in batches. Do not
over crowd the oil with onion fritters, this will help them cook evenly.
