It's one of the cold evenings again. It feels like having something hot and crispy snacks. So my mom and I thought to prepare Onion Pakoras. A simple snack that can give a satisfying feeling for a winter evening.

What all do I want?

3 onions thinly sliced

1-tbsp ginger powder

2 green chili finely chopped

Few curries leave chopped

¼ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp  red chili powder

pinch of asafoetida

1 cup besan/gram flour

2 tbsp cornflour

½ tsp salt

oil for deep frying

Follow these instructions

In a large mixing bowl take 3 thinly sliced onions.

Add 1 tbsp ginger powder, a few curry leaves, ¼ tsp turmeric, ½ tsp chili powder, and a pinch of thing.

Mix them well with Onions.

Additionally, add 1 cup besan, 2 tbsp cornflour, and ½ tsp salt.

Combine well making sure to squeeze onions well.

Without adding any water squeeze out the onions till the moisture is released.

Combine till dough is formed. if onions do not release water, then sprinkle a few drops of water.

Take a ball-sized pakora dough and drop it in hot oil.

Do not overcrowd the oil as it won't get crispy.

Fry on medium flame till the pakora turns crispy and golden brown.

Finally, drain over kitchen paper and serve onion pakora with tomato sauce and chai.

Enhanced Informational tips:

You can also use Rice four for more crispy onion pakoras.

Add only a few droplets to the dough. Adding more water can make dough lose and can absorb more oil than usual.

It was the best choice on a cold evening. What about you? Try and let me know?

I know that majority of all know this recipe. And but I am new to this! I always thought that Cheese and Maggi are not a great combo and now I realize that I am such an idiot not to try them. It heavenly tasted when I tried them! Let's get into it, shall we?

Peri peri masala 1/4 tbsp

1 Onion finely chopped

1 Tomato finely chopped

1/2 tbsp of Chilli powder

1/4 tbsp of sugar

1/4 tbsp of Oregano

2 slices of cheese

Oil - 3tbsp

How did I do?

Take a Kadai fry 1 finely chopped onions with a the help of 3 tbsp of oil.

Once it turns to Golden color, add 1 finely chopped tomato and cook them.

Add 1/2 chili powers, 1/4 tbsp sugar, 1/3 tbsp of oregano 1/4 Periperi masala mix, and stir them well. Close a lid for two minutes and let them cook.

Further, add 3/4 cup and get it to a boil.

Add Maggi along with a fast maker and cook them.

Once they are prepared, add cheese slice stir well for two minutes.

The Cheese Maggis is ready!

Trust me I didn't know the importance of Cheese Maggi. Now I am a huge fan of Cheese Maggi! So, I had to post this! A historical realization!! Until the next recipe Happy food time:)

Since we had tried Ridge gourd pakora today, we decided to try on Paneer too. We thought, why not paneer? So, without much of an introduction, Let's start!!!

What all we need?

Besan - 3 cups

Chilli powder - 3 tbsp

Salt as required

Baking Soda - a pinch

Baking powder - 1/4 tbsp

Paneer cubes - 1 cup

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tbsp

Chili flakes - 1/4 tbsp

Oregano - 1/4 tbsp

Cumin Seeds - 1/4 tbsp.

Oil - for frying

How it will be prepared?

Take Paneer and cut into small cubes as required for the pakoras. Keep it aside.

Take a mixing bowl, add 3 cups of Besan, 3 tbsp Chilli powder, a pinch of baking soda, salt as required, turmeric powder, baking powder -1/4 tbsp, child flakes 1/4 tbsp oregano 1/4 tbsp, cumin seed 1/4 tbsp.

Mix the ingredients by adding water as required. The consistency of a batter must be neither watery nor thick mixture.

Add Paneer cubes to the batter and coat them

Meanwhile heat the oil for frying. Once the oil is heat, fry the coated paneer cubes.

Fry until it turns into golden colour.

Now the Paneer pakoras are ready!!! Serve pakora Hot.

Enhancers!!

You can skip the baking powder step. Here baking powder is added for better crispy pakoras.

You can skip the chilli flakes and oregano if you want to keep the flavour to desi style.

You can add the veggies you want to this recipe. In other words, you can make pakoras of different veggies using the same recipe.

Prepare Mint chutney, or serve with tomato sauce for more enhancing flavours.

The same day we had Ridge gourd pakoras and Paneer pakoras in the same batter. I should admit that each veggie has its own flavour that is enjoyable in different level. I hope this simple recipe caught your attention that you will go right now to try!! Let me know if you have tried. I will be glad to know. Until next time here, take care . Happy food time :)
