Apparently have posted  kanda bhaji pav served with dry garlic chutney, sweet chutney and spicy chutney. I love onion pakoras hot with a cup of tea during monsoon. We are even fond of potato pakora, palak pakora, mung dal pakora and fenugreek leaves pakora. This Onion Pakora Recipe is easy to make and could be made with basic ingredients found in your kitchen.

Generally pakoras are served with dry garlic chutney and green chutney, however it’s optional. They taste even great with tomato sauce and some fried chilies.

Pakoras have a special place in my heart. As back in school and college days we used to thrive and eat them whenever hungry at street corners or at home.

  2. Sift the gram flour and water. Mix all the spice powder, carom seed, green chilies and salt. Give a nice whisk and make a smooth, thick batter.
  3. Add the sliced onion if the batter is too thin then add some gram flour. If too thick batter then add some water.
  4. Place oil in a kadai or a deep vessel. Once oil is hot take a spoonful of the mixture and drop into the hot oil, leaving some space from each other.
  5. Don't cluster too many, fry few at a time.
  6. Once they are golden brown from both sides. Remove them with slotted spoon and place on absorbent napkins.
  7. Repeat the same with the rest of batter.
  8. Serve the onion bhaji pav hot with fried green chilies and sauce.
Notes
1. If amchur isn't available then just add some chat masala instead.[br]2. The batter has to be thick and not thin.[br]3. Fry them on medium heat else they might get burnt.[br]4. You could add baking soda if you wish to. However I haven't added.[br]5. The onion need to be sliced thinly else it would take a longer time to cook.
