Onion Pakodi

“Happy New Year 2010” n “సంక్రాంతి  శుభాకాంక్షలు” to all my readers.

Ingredients:

Onions – thinly sliced

Besan flour/ chick pea flour – 1 cup

Green chilli – finely chopped

Red chilli powder – ½ tsp

Salt – to taste

Curry leaves – finely chopped

Oil – to deep fry

Procedure:

Wash and peel onion and slice them thinly.

Now mix onions, salt, green chillis, curry leave and crush them really nice using your hands, so that onions will loose out little water, then add besan flour little by little just to coat onions. Don’t add any water. Batter consistency should be kind of marinated onions.

Now add red chilli powder, adjust salt and spice according to your taste. Heat oil in cooking vessel, when it is hot enough drop marinated onions and fry till golden brown.

Drain the excess oil.

Serve hot with ketchup.

Note:

If you want your onion pakodi crispy, just coat your sliced onions with besan flour and fry. Or if you want your pakodi soft, make your batter just like vegitable bajji batter and dip onions in the batter and fry.
