Onion Pakora

1 cup Gram flour (called besan in India)

1/4 cup rice flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Salt to taste

¼ teaspoon red chilly powder

One large onion chopped fine

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Optional – chopped green pepper (Serrano or Thai or find something milder)

One pinch Asafeotida (called Hing in Indian store)



Dry mix all above in a mixing bowl. Add about half cup water, mix it up. Add more water till we get to a thick mix.



Heat up cooking oil, after it is heated up use a tablespoon and drop the mix one TBSP at a time. Should be able to fry 4-6 TBSps at a time, make sure they don’t stick to one another.

Flip one side to other and fry till golden brown.



Enjoy with a chutney of your choice.
