Onion Pakoda or onion pakora is also called as ‘Kanda Bhaji’ in Maharashtra region and is a popular snack throughout Maharashtra. They can also be called as ‘Pyaz Ka Pakoda/pakora’. The combination of onions and the chick pea flour also called as besan gives a wonderful taste and to get the crispy taste we can also add rice flour.

Pakodas are usually eaten during evenings or as tea time snacks or during winters or rainy or when we feel like eating any kind of snacks. Pakoda or Bajji are popular snack items in India.

Indians love to try different pakora recipes and are almost liked by everyone. In india finding onion pakoda being sold on the streets is a very common sight. During winters or rainy people tend to eat hot hot pakodas along with tea.

    Assalamualyakum

    I used rice flour and the fritters came out dry and werent tasting good at all.
    Next time i will use plain flour or maybe corn flour.
    Please advise and thanks for the wonderful recipes.

      Walekum Assalam Shaida,

      just use less flour and usually we add little rice flour. Even if you add chickpea flour add in proportion and not too much and better skip rice flour if they are too dry and hopefully i’ll add a video to this recipe to understand better…
