Sometimes deep fried things are too good to resist. This is one of those times where it is impossible deny the palate. The onions get caramelized in the frying process, making this quite delectable and sweet. Even kids will love them! Pakora can have any kind of vegetable and apparently even fruit (banana pakora to come soon!).
Serves: 4 (about 20 pakora)
Ingredients:
1 large onion, cut in half, then thinly sliced
3 t. chili powder
2 t. salt
1/2 t. turmeric
2 t. ground coriander
1 t. ground cumin
pinch of sugar
chopped cilantro
1 c. chickpea flour (available at health food or Indian grocery stores)
1/4 c. white rice flour (available at health food stores)
2 T. water
vegetable oil for frying
1. Put onion in a bowl, and cover with salt. Let sit for half an hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well together until the flour completely cakes the onion mixture. It should look like a sticky paste covering the onions.
2. Heat up at least 2" of vegetable oil in a deep fry pan on high heat. Reduce heat to medium high, and drop spoonfuls of the onion mixture into the oil and fry until deep golden brown.
