Onion Pakoda
Onion Pakoda is a popular Indian and Nepali deep-fried snack made from thinly sliced onions mixed with a spiced chickpea flour (besan) batter. The batter is seasoned with spices like turmeric, red chili powder, cumin seeds, and salt, which enhance the flavor and add a slight heat. The onion slices are coated evenly in the batter and then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. Served hot with chutneys like mint-coriander or tamarind sauce, Onion Pakoda is a delicious, crunchy snack perfect for tea time or rainy days — loved for its savory taste and satisfying crunch!
