Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Method:
Take the onions in a bowl.
Add all of the above ingredients except oil and water.
Mix all the ingredients well with the onions.
Sprinkle water and mix well. The batter should stick to the onions. This time I forgot to click the picture of the batter but next time I will upload the picture so that it is easier to understand.
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the pakoras on medium heat.
Put the onion mix in the oil in the form of bite size pieces.
Pakoras are ready when it is golden brown on both sides. Remove the pakoras on an absorbent paper and serve.
Tips!
Serve the pakora's or fritters with coriander mint chutey or ketchup. This is good as a snack or starter.
