Well here comes another experimental recipe. This is almost similar to how we make the traditional Pakodas but with a small twist. Traditionally Pakodas are vegetarian, but for this recipe I used an egg. Its just an experiment which turned out to be good, so decided to post the recipe. It is very simple but the end result looks much better and appetizing.
Ingredients:
Basin powder (gram flour) - 1 cup
Rice flour (or you can use all purpose flour) - 1 tbs
Salt - to taste
Egg - 1
baking powder - 1 tsp
Oil - (for frying)
Onions - 1 large
Chat masala - 1/2 tsp
Procedure:
- Mix the gram flour, rice flour, 1/2 tsp salt, backing powder together. Add egg, some water and mix it in to a thick paste like consistency. (make sure that it is not too liquidy, because if the batter is too loose it will absorb more oil.)
- Chop onion in to thin Slices. Add it to the above batter and mix well till the onion is completely coated with the batter.
- Heat oil. Drop a little amount of batter in to the hot oil to make sure it is ready.
- When the oil is hot enough then the batter will immediately float to the top of the oil.
- Drop portions of the batter in to the (medium hot) oil and fry till golden brown as shown in the picture.
- Once done remove it on to a paper towel so that the excess oil is absorbed. Repeat the procedure till the batter is finished.
Sprinkle some chat masala and Enjoy while they are hot!!!
Note: It is very important to have the Pakodas when they are hot. Also be careful when adding the batter in to the hot oil.
