Pyaz pakoda ,yet another any time favourite recipe of mine.
But this is slightly different in taste than our marathi kanda bhaji or khekda bhaji even though it uses onions..
Onion Pakoda is a deep fried batter snack made of gram flour (besan), other spices and onions. Unlike the potato bajji or the banana chilli bajji, the batter for the onion pakoda is different.
It is more of a south ,specially andhra style pyaaz pakoda.
The addition of green chilies ( no red chilli powder) , ginger julienes , Jeera, curry leaves and cashew nuts make it different than our khekda bhaji.
also read the process carefully as some oil is added to dry besan flour along with some soda which gives it a crumbly texture.
Also green chilli should be cut length wise ,dont cut it round.
i had tasted this bhajiya in a restaurant in bangalore while watching cricket matches.
I am so glad that i found this recipe on vah re vah chef sanjay thumas video.
definitely a must try recipe ,so if you are a bhajiya lover like me than go for it
