Pyaz ke pakode | onion fritters | baked onion pakoda with step wise pictorial and video recipe. Vegan and Glutenfree tea time snack.

WHAT IS PAKODA?

One of the most loved street food from India, Pakora is a fritter often made of Vegetables coated in spiced gram flour and deep fried to brown and crisp.

At different places and states, pakoda is named differently like bhajiya, pakodi, ponako, pakura, fakkura and phulauri.

ABOUT THE PRESENT RECIPE

There’s hardly anyone who doesn’t like pakodas but there’s only one thing which stops many from cherishing it, and that is too much of oil.

Health conscious and weight watchers prefer to stay away from any sort of pakodas because pakodas are always made by deep frying.

Though frying adds taste to pakodas but at the same time pakodas absorb oil, which makes it fatty and hence sinful snack.

But the present recipe is made by baking instead of deep frying and in the process, used only 2 tablespoons of oil.

This needs to be admitted that baking takes much of the time in comparison to frying but spending extra time is better than staking your health.

VARITIES OF PAKORA

The varities of pakodas are endless. Green veggies like Spinach, dill leaves, green onion, Fenugreek Leaves and colocasia leaves make an awesome pakode recipes.

Also corn, Cabbage, cauliflower, lotus roots, eggplant and green chilli pakodas taste awesome.

The most common type of pakodas are made from potato, onion and also paneer and bread. Bread pakodas can be made plain or stuffed with potatoes.

We already have a fusion recipe of pakoda and pizza in our blog with the name bread pizza pakoda.

BEST TIME TO ENJOY PAKODAS

Though there’s no fixed criteria as to when it can be enjoyed. This is such a delicious street food that you can have it at any day, time or season.

But certain things impact best when they come in a package.

Cold weather, cup of hot tea and pakodas is such a beautiful and only love triangle, where none will leave alone at the end…lol.

PRIME INGREDIENTS

As mentioned above, the variety of pakodas are endless but the batter of all types of pakodas are usually the same.

So whenever you are making pakodas, keep all the ingredients as such, as mentioned for the present recipe.

As far as rice flour is concerned, you can see it optional but at the same time highly recommended.

It’s not that pakodas can’t be made without it, but rice flour brings crispness in the pakodas.

Rest of the ingredients are the spices, few of which can always be adjusted according to your taste as well as their availability.
