Spring Onion Pakoda | Hari Pyaz Ka Pakoda

Spring onion pakoda or hari pyaz ka pakoda is one of my favorite pakoda, the crunchy and delicious taste of it makes me make it for every other evening snacking...
There's something really nice and satisfying about having pakodas in monsoon or when its raining outside and you sit there near the window and have hot hot pakodas with your family, isn't it?!

Ingredients:

• Spring onion, roughly chopped 250 gms
• Gram flour/besan, 1/2 cup
• Red chilli powder, 1 tspn
• Coriander powder, 1/2 tspn
• Turmeric, 1/4 tspn
• Cumin seeds, 1/2 tspn
• Ginger-garlic paste, 1/2 tspn
• Coriander leaves, 1/2 cup chopped
• Salt, to taste
• Oil, to deep fry

Recipe Type: Snack

Serves: 3-4

Recipe:

• Wash and strain all the water from spring onion.

• In a bowl, add well strained spring onions.
• Add besan, red chilli powder, turmeric, cumin seeds, Ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, coriander leaves and salt.

• Mix well. If it looks too moist add some more gram flour.

• Heat oil in a wok.
• When its moderate hot, fry pakodas on medium high flame till both the sides are golden brown.

• Drain them on paper to remove excess oil.
• Serve hot hot with tomato ketchup or Green Chutney.

Notes:

• Wash spring onion well and make sure that all the water is completely drained before proceeding to making pakoda.
• If too much besan is added, it will lose its crunchiness.
• Do not let it sit after adding besan and all the spices as the onion will leave its water making it thin.
• Frying them over low flame will make the pakodas absorb more oil, hence it should be fried over medium-high flame.
