Cruchy Pakodas

Paal ( milk ) saadam ( rice ) has been a dinner in our

place daily..The great side dish for the paal saadam

is Pakoda..There is a sweet shop in my place which is

popular . They make everything fresh everyday.People

throng the shop when it opens in the afternoon.Their

pakodas are very popular and so we never made an attempt

to make it at home . After getting married I missed this pakoda

and started experimenting . This recipe is close to that taste.

Ingredients

Onion ( chopped ) - 2 big

Besan flour - 1 cup

Rice flour - 1/2 cup

Baking soda - a pinch

Chilli powder - 1 tsp

Curry leaves chopped - few

Saunf - 1 tsp

Ghee - 1 tblsp

Salt to taste

Oil to fry

Method

• In a big bowl add baking soda , ghee , onion and salt.
• Rub well to form a thick foamy texture. Leave it aside for 10 min.The water in the onion will ooze out.
• Add besan and rice flour and all the other ingredients to this and mix well.
• Add 2 tblsp of water and form a tough dough.Don't add more water.The pakodas will become soggy.
• Heat oil in a kadai . Once it is hot take a handful dough and drop the dough into small bites in the oil.
• Fry well in the oil.Remove it when it reaches golden color and drain it in the paper towel.
