Note / Tips :

Here i have used Wood pressed ground nut oil for deep frying traditionally this oil is used for deep frying pakoda's

Mix with little water sprinkling, so that onions are only coated with the flour

Fry in medium flame to get crispy pakoda's

Mix onions with all the ingredients well and leave it to rest for 5 minutes before adding gram and rice flour to this. This brings out the water content in the onion and then when flour is mixed you can adjust the flour and water accordingly

Store in container only when pakoda's are completely cooled
