Hi Supermoms,

Those of you who are following me on Instagram will know that the main reason for me to make these fritters were the ' Rains' in Delhi. 

But why these Pakoras? Simply because this is my Hubby's favourite . Each place has it's own style of making Onion Pakora and I have already shared the Mumbai Style.

My interaction with the Pakora Anna in Munirka market helped me perfect this Street Style Snack.

So glad to share the recipe with you all.

                  

Took candid shots for this recipe. No time for photoshoots as this is such a yummy snack that one can't wait to eat. You will understand what I am saying if you make these fritters.

Chef Tips :

1. Less water makes the pakoras very crispy. 

2. Make sure that the oil is hot by dropping a small piece in oil. If it instantly sizzles, then you are ready to fry them.

3. Do slice the onions really thin. This is the key to getting shop like pakoras. You can use slicer to make uniform slices.

4. Since the batter will stick to your hand, you will have to move your fingers to release them. Be careful as the oil might splash. 

5. Allow the pakoras to brown for that extra crunch.

Happy Cooking !!!

With love,
