Crispy deep-fried onion fritters made with sliced onions, chickpea flour, and spices—a classic Indian tea-time or starter snack.
Onion Pakoda (also known as onion pakora, kanda bhaji, or pyaaz ke pakode) is a crunchy, spiced fritter made by mixing thinly sliced onions with gram flour (besan), rice flour or corn flour, herbs, and spices like chilli powder, ajwain, turmeric, and curry leaves. The mixture is deep-fried into golden fritters, delivering a savory, crispy snack perfect with mint chutney or ketchup. They’re especially beloved during monsoon evenings alongside a cup of masala chai.
Texture & Flavor: Light and super crisp on the outside with tender onions inside. Spicy, herbaceous, and savory.
Ingredients: Onion (usually red for pungency), gram flour, rice flour, carom seeds, curry/mint leaves, ginger‑garlic, green chilies, chilli powder, turmeric, salt—and optionally cashew bits or baking soda for fluffiness.
Preparation: Mix onions and spices, let moisture release, bind with flour into a firm mixture (little water added), and deep-fry on medium heat until golden.
Serving Suggestions: Serve piping hot with green chutney, tomato ketchup, or tea. Best consumed immediately to retain crispiness.
Highly recommended. Will purchase more in future.
