Cauliflower Onion Pakoda
We are entering the last week of blogging Marathon #50 and for this week I chose,pick one category or do 3.For this theme already 3 set of lists such as snack,potato based and fried were given.We need to choose either 3 dishes from the same category or one from each of the list. For day 1 I am sharing a pakoda with sliced cauliflower and onions,as its listed in the snack category.As we had a snow last week we wanted to have some crunchy snack.So made this pakodas for evening snack along with a cup of tea.
Here I used the homemade made pakoda mix,if you don't have it,go ahead and use the gram flour and rice flour.This version is a slightly crispy and crunchy variety,lets move on to the recipe...........................
Cauliflower Onion Pakoda
Basic Information
Preparation time 15 minutes
Cooking time 15-20 minutes
Serves 3
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Bajji,bonda mix | 1 cup |
| Cauliflower(sliced) | 3/4- 1 cup |
| Onion(thinly chopped) | 2(small size) |
| Green chilly/pachamilagi | 2-3 (sliced) |
| Curry leaves/karivepillai | 2 sprigs(chopped) |
| Coriander leaves(chopped) | 1 tbs |
| Turmeric powder | 1/4 tsp |
| Fennel seeds/sombu | 1 tsp |
| Garlic/poondu | 2 fat cloves |
| Salt | a pinch |
| Oil | for deep frying |
Method
- Pound together the garlic and fennel to a coarse paste,heat the pan with oil in a medium flame.Add a pinch of salt to the sliced onion,crush and mix it well.
- Take everything in a bowl except oil.Now to this add a tbs of hot oil,mix it well without adding any water.(The moisture in the onion is good enough to make the batter,if needed sprinkle little water).
- Once the oil becomes hot,take a handful of batter and sprinkle it in the oil.Fry it in a medium flame till it becomes nice and golden.Remove it from the oil and drain it on a paper towel.
- Serve it warm along with a cup of tea.
- If you are using gram flour and rice flour,for 1 cup of gram flour use around 2 tbs of rice flour,2 tsp of maida and 1/2 tsp of red chilly powder
- Since salt is added in bajji,bonda mix,I used a pinch for the onion.
- Instead of cauliflower,shredded cabbage can also be used.
- A tsp of ginger&garlic paste can also be added for extra flavor.
