Onion Pakora (Onion Bhaji)

How to Prepare

1. Peel and thinly slice the onions into half-moons.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced onions, chickpea flour, rice flour, green chilies, ginger, cumin seeds, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
3. Add chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Gradually add water, a little at a time, until the mixture forms a thick batter that coats the onions.
4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
5. Using a spoon or your hands, drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6. Fry the pakoras for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the pakoras using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.
