Onion & Spinach Pakora

Potluck at a friend’s place…

I remember those hustle bustle parties that we used to have when we were young, all my aunts used to get together and prepare varieties of dishes flaunting their expertise in the dishes they made, boy that used to be a feast. Those were the times….
Dinner get together with friends now has been an integral parts of our lives since we moved here on work. Since most of our friends are bachelors and bacheloretts they always have lots of things to talk about their culinary experiences and my eyes and ears are always open when it come to the matter of food.
I almost spent half a day of my time thinking what I would be whipping to take to the pot luck party , I breezed form no fat healthy food to all fried items. As you all know, its always the tongue that rules over your head when it comes to food!!! (At least mine!!)…So here goes the recipe.

Ingredients

5 big size red or yellow onions (Thinly Sliced)
1 bunch spinach (Finely chopped)
2 green chillies (Chopped)
½ bunch cilantro (Chopped)
½ cup besan flour
2 tbsp Rice flour
1tsp chilli powder
Salt to taste.


In a broad pan put all the ingredients and sprinkle very little water and start mixing it with your fingers. (* Note that the onions are watery and using too much water will make the batter watery).
In a shallow frying pan heat oil at medium, when the oil is hot take a small spoon and scoop the mixture to the size you want and fry it in oil. Keep turning it upside down every 2 mins and let them fry until golden brown. Place the fried pakoras on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil.

Serve it with ketchup or with hot coffee.

** The batter should be prepared just 5 mins before making the pakoras because Onions large water content .
