Summer rain and cool breeze. What more to ask for on a beautiful evening!! Yesterday we experienced a quick shower in evening. I thought why not celebrate the first rain of the season with crispy crunchy onion pakoda and freshly made tea.

Here is the recipe for onion pakoda

Green chili 3
Ginger a large piece
Besan a large cup
Curry leaves a few
Coriander leaves a few
Red chilli powder a tsp
Garam masala a tsp
Salt as required
Ajwain a little
Oil for frying

Method of preparation

Peel and chop onion, ginger, green chili, curry and coriander leaves into thin long slices. Add all the ingredients in a bowl, add besan, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, ajwain, salt and sprinkle a little water and make a dry batter. Keep sufficient oil for frying in a heated iron kadai. Once oil becomes hot take a small portion of onion pakoda batter, drop it in oil deep fry till golden brown. Use a perforated ladle and carefully take fried pakodas in kitchen absorbent napkins. Let it absorb all excess oil. Serve pakoda with mint chutney and freshly made tea. Enjoy your evening with this crispy crunchy snack. Happy summer holidays!!
