Onion pakoda


Ingredients:
Gram flour - 2 cups (கடலை மாவு)
Rice flour - 1 cup
Corn flour - 1/4 cup (optional)
Red onion - 1 (thinly sliced)
Ginger - 2 inch (julienned)
Green chilli -1 (discard the seeds & chop)
Red chilli powder - 1 teaspoon
Curry leaves - 10 (chopped)
Coriander leaves - chopped
Salt
Warm oil - 1 tablespoon
Oil for deep frying.
Baking soda -1/4 tsp

Method:
Mix gram flour, rice flour, corn flour (optional) , red chilli powder, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
Add warm oil to the mixture and mix.
Add onion, ginger, curry leaves, coriander leaves, green chillies and mix.
Sprinkle little water and mix.
Do not make the mix more wet. It should barely stick together. (மாவு ரொம்ப ஒட்டிக் கொண்டு இருக்காமல், உதிரி உதிரியாக இருக்க வேண்டும்)
Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying.
Take one handful of mix and keep pinching and drop about 1 inch of mix in the oil. (ஒரு கை நிறைய மாவு எடுத்துக்கொண்டு, அதிலிருந்து தேவையான அளவுக்கு கிள்ளி எடுத்து எண்ணையில் போட வேண்டும்.)
Remove when fried.
