Onion pakodas/onion pakoras
Cauliflower pakoda or pakora Ingredients Cauliflower - 1 cup (florets) Gram Flour (Besan flour) - 1 cup Rice Flour - 1 cup Salt - to taste Red Chillie Powder - 2 tsp Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp Oil - for deep frying Method Cut the cauliflower into medium sized florets. Boil the florets in salted water(add a bit turmeric powder too) for just couple of minutes. Drain the water completely. This step is important to get rid of worms inside the cauliflower as well as for salt to get into the cauliflower. Mix the flours, salt and the spices in a bowl. Sprinkle this spice powder over the boiled cauliflower florets. The moisture from the cauliflower is sufficient to make the spice mix stick to the florets. If needed, just sprinkle few drops of extra water. Heat the oil for deep frying. Take a spoonful of the cauliflower pakora mix and add it to the hot oil. Fry till golden brown. Drain excess oil in a paper towel and serve hot with some ketchup. Onion pakoda or pakora Ingred...
