yummy snack recipe | onion pakoda recipe spicy, crunchy onion pakoda would be a good evening snack, usually, pakoda must be crunchy rather than soft like other bonda varieties. Here we are using the water content of onion to mix up the flour, slightly we are add in little water at the end to make the dough a little flexy. It is street food, and also an all-time snack in tea shops in the southern part of India. Also in northern India, This pakoda is served with some green chutney in restaurants and in tea shops. This pakoda (yummy snack recipe | onion pakoda recipe) with tea is a classic combination and also most of our favorite ones.

  • In south India, ajwain/ omam won’t be used in the pakoda, But adding ajwain makes the pakoda flavourful and tasty. If this spice is unavailable at home, we can nicely replace it with 1/2 tsp fennel seed crushed.
  • add only 1 tbsp of water to mix. the batter must be thick, only then we will get crispy pakoda (yummy snack recipe | onion pakoda recipe).
  • While frying the pakoda, the temperature of the oil must be medium hot, not to be high hot or low hot. If the oil is high heat, immediately the outer part of the pakoda got fried, and the inside part remains undercooked. So maintain the medium-hot temperature while dropping the batter
