Vegan Recipe: Onion Pakoras

It seems like a tricky prospect to find Indian recipes that are one hundred percent plant-based - we tend to like our chicken and dairy.

But there is a whole wealth of fantastic recipes that are completely vegan without an odd Indo-Western twist.

Find us a rainy day fix better than a plate of impossibly crisp onion pakoras and steaming hot tea. We’ll wait.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Number of persons: 4
Type of dish: snack

Necessities:

• Kadai
• Bowl
  
  

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chana dhal
• 2½ onion, finely chopped
• ½ tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste
• 3 tablespoons of rice flour
• 2 tsp chili powder
• ¼ teaspoon ajwain
• 2 tsp salt
• A pinch of baking soda
• 1½ cups of oil

Pre-preparation:

1. Soak the onions in water and set aside.
2. Then drain them and put them in a bowl, add gram flour, rice flour, chili powder, ajwain, salt, ginger-garlic paste and baking powder.
3. Mix the onions into the dry mixture with your hands.
4. The onions will begin to release water, making the dry batter semi-wet.
5. Add about a tablespoon of water if you want to create a thick layer around the onions.

Preparation:

1. Heat oil in a kadai over medium heat (To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a little onion into it. It should float up quickly).
2. Gently drop small balls of battered onions into the oil, leaving room for them to expand.
3. Fry over medium heat to ensure that the pakoras are cooked from the inside. This usually takes about five minutes.
4. Remove the pakoda with a spoon and allow the excess oil to drain on kitchen paper.
5. Serve piping hot and preferably with a hot drink.
