Description
Onion Pakoda, also known as Onion Bhajji or Onion Fritters, is a popular Indian snack made by deep-frying slices of onions coated in a spiced gram flour (besan) batter. It’s a favorite street food and tea-time snack across India, loved for its crispy texture and savory flavor.
To prepare Onion Pakoda, thinly sliced onions are mixed with a batter made from gram flour, rice flour, spices, and sometimes a pinch of baking soda. The batter is seasoned with spices like chili powder, turmeric, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and chopped green chilies for added flavor and heat.
The onion slices are then coated evenly with the batter, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Small portions of the onion-coated batter are dropped gently into hot oil and deep-fried until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once fried, the Onion Pakodas are removed from the oil and drained on paper towels to remove excess oil. They are typically served hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup as dipping sauces.
Onion Pakodas are enjoyed not only during monsoon seasons but also as a popular appetizer or snack for gatherings, festivals, and special occasions. The crispy texture and spicy-sweet flavor of the onions make them a delightful treat that pairs perfectly with a cup of hot tea or coffee
