Nothing beats the joy of munching on hot, crispy pakoras during a rainy evening. This recipe features a quick and easy method to prepare Onion Pakoras using Optimum Premium Fried Onions for that perfect crunch and rich flavour.
Ingredients:
- 500g Optimum Premium Fried Onions
- 1 cup gram flour (besan)
- 2 tbsp rice flour (for extra crispiness)
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- Salt to taste
- Water (as needed)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric, carom seeds, and salt. Mix well. -
Add the Onions:
Gradually add the Optimum Premium Fried Onions into the flour mixture. Toss them lightly to ensure the onions are evenly coated. -
Form a Thick Batter:
Slowly add water to the bowl while mixing, until a thick yet pourable batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps. -
Heat the Oil:
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. -
Fry the Pakoras:
Scoop small portions of the batter-coated onions and drop them gently into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. -
Serve Hot:
Drain the pakoras on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
Conclusion:
Using Optimum Premium Fried Onions ensures your pakoras are packed with flavour and require minimal prep time. This quick-fix snack is perfect for family gatherings, festivals, or simply a cozy evening treat.
