The showers of first rains are bestowed upon us in Bangalore by the Rain God. I thank him, cause it lifts the water levels.
Since the car tyre was flat in the morning, we decided to travel to office by bike. But, unexpectedly it rained in the evening while we were travelling home and we had to take shelter in a shop to avoid getting drenched. My hubby dear said that it's very lovely season and that he felt like eating hot onion pakoda's.
I too liked the idea and prayed to Rain God to somehow reduce or stop the rains till we reach home.
Very soon my prayers were heard and I came home with full enthusiasm to prepare what my hubby loves the most. Read below to find out more.
Ingredients:
100 grams gram flour
2 small onions cut straight
1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
1 tablespoon ajwain (carrom seeds)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cooking soda
2 cups cooking oil
Procedure:
Mix the gram flour with 1 cup water to make a thick batter. Ensure that there are no lumps.
Mix into this all the ingredients (except oil) listed above.
Heat oil in a kadai and wait for it to reach the right temperature. You can check this by leaving a pinch batter in the oil. It will get fried if the oil is set to the right temperature, else it will stick to the bottom of the kadai.
Using a spoon leave a tablespoon of batter in the oil. At a time 3 or 4 such tablespoons of batter can be dropped into the oil so as to fry more pakodas.
Health conscious people can spread them onto a tissue paper. Tissue paper will absorb the extra oil.
Serve hot with chutney of your choice or tomato sauce or have them plain.
