How to Make Simple South Indian Crispy Onion Pakoda Snack Recipe for Kids

Onion Fritters Recipe Ingredients

    Onion – 1 medium or 1 1/3 cups Sliced
    Green chilies – 2 small, finely chopped
    Ginger paste – ½ teaspoon
    Curry leaves – 4-5, chopped
    Cilantro – few sprigs, chopped finely
    Salt- to taste
    Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon
    Red chili powder – 1 teaspoon
    Coriander powder – ½ teaspoon
    Carom seeds (Ajwain) – ¼ teaspoon
    Rice flour – 2 tablespoons
    Besan (Chickpea flour) – 5 tablespoons

Directions

Take sliced onion in a bowl.


Add chopped green chilies, cilantro, curry leaves and ginger paste. Mix it very well.

Add salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder and carom seeds.
Then add rice flour and besan.

Mix it well. So all the flour and masala coat the all sliced onions. Adjust the besan quantity to coat the onions. Make sure all the sliced onion should be coated with flour.

Leave it aside for 20 minutes. So onion will start to leave its water and flour mixture will get wet. We don’t want to make batter of flour so do not add any extra water. Water from onion is enough.

Heat the oil (few inches deep) in the pan on medium heat for deep frying. Once oil is hot, add spoonful of pakoda mixture.

Fry it till it becomes golden brown on both sides. Turn them around while frying for even cooking. Deep fry few pakodas at a time. Do not over crowd them.

Then remove it on paper towel lined plate. And serve hot.
