Ingredients

• 3-4 Onion cut up
• 1 cup Gram flour
• 2-3 Green chilly finely chopped
• green coriander finely chopped
• 1/2 spoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 spoon chilli powder
• 1/2 spoon Celery
• Salt as per taste
• Oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Onions

• First of all, cut 2–3 large onions into thin slices. Put them in a bowl, add a little salt and leave for 5 minutes, so that the onions become soft and their flavor comes out well.

Step 2 Mix gram flour and spices

• Now add 1 cup gram flour to onion. After this, add turmeric, red chili powder, celery, coriander powder and salt as per taste and mix everything well.

Step 3: Preparing to make crisps

• Add finely chopped green chillies and green coriander to this mixture. To make the pakodas more crispy, you can also add 1–2 teaspoons of rice flour.

Step 4: Prepare the Batter

• Now make a thick batter by adding water little by little. Keep in mind that the batter should not be too thin, because onion also releases water.

Step 5: Heat oil on gas

• To fry the pakodas, add oil in the pan and let it heat well. If the oil is properly heated then the pakodas will not become too oily.

Step 6: Fry the Pakodas

• Now with the help of hand or spoon, drop small pakodas in hot oil and fry them on medium flame till they become golden brown and crispy.

Step 7: Serve

• Take out the prepared pakodas in a plate and serve hot with green chutney, tamarind chutney or tomato sauce. Everyone will like these pakodas during Holi fun.

Notes

some additional tips

• Always fry the pakodas on medium flame. By frying on high flame, they brown quickly from outside but may remain raw from inside, whereas by frying on low flame, they absorb more oil. By maintaining the right flame, the pakodas become crisp and light.
• By adding salt to the onion and leaving it aside for a while, it becomes slightly soft and there is no need to add extra water to the batter. This also improves the texture of the pakodas.
• Do not make the batter too thin. The thick batter gives shape to the pakodas and they do not spread while frying, making the pakodas crispy.
• It is very important for the oil to be properly heated before putting the pakodas in the oil. If the oil is cold then the pakodas will absorb more oil and become soft.
• Do not put too many pakodas in the pan at one time. Due to this, the temperature of the oil decreases and the pakodas do not become crunchy properly.
• A little rice flour or semolina can be added to the batter for extra crunch. This keeps the pakodas crunchy for a long time.
• After frying, take out the pakodas on tissue paper, so that the extra oil gets removed and they look light and tasty.
