Onion Pakoda is a yummy, crispy evening snack. A cup of tea/Coffee with spicy onion pakoda is a wonderful treat to our taste buds. Onion Pakoda is one of the popular evening snack in many fast food shops / pantries / restaurants. We can make many variations of pakoda like Oats Pakoda, Semiya pakoda, Cashewnuts pakoda, peanuts pakoda. Whatsoever new variations we make, the conventional onion pakoda is always a big hit in my family. Especially, during cloudy or rainy days, a cup of hot coffee / tea with a bowl of onion pakoda would make the evening more wonderful.
Tips for making Onion Pakoda:
1:2 ratio of rice flour to gram flour helps to get more crispier pakoda.
Adding hot oil or ghee to the prepared flours helps in more crispness.
The moisture in the onions itself is enough for binding the flours with onions. But if you feel the mixture is dry, we can sprinkle little water and coat the onions properly.
While adding the pakoda mixture, try to crumble the mixture and add it that way the pakodas are not packed together.
Deep fry in low flame to make sure the pakoda gets fried without onions getting burnt.

Finely chop the onions lengthwise and keep it aside.

Add onions, coriander leaves, curry leaves and mix well with hand. Do not add water.
Try to mix the flours and coat them in the onions with hand pressure. If you feel very dry, just sprinkle very little water and mix well
Heat oil in a pan for frying the pokoda. Add 2 teaspoon of hot oil to the pakoda mixture and mix well. When the oil is hot enough, take one hand full of pakoda mixture and gently drop it in oil.
