Enjoy here very easy iftar recipe : Onion Pakora....

Ingredients :

•     2 to 3 medium sized onions
•     2 cups gram flour or besan
•     ½ tsp red chilli powder
•     ½ tsp garam masala powder
•     ¼ tsp turmeric powder (optional)
•     ¾ tsp ajwain or carom seeds
•     A pinch of asafoetida or hing
•     Oil for shallow frying or deep frying – sunflower oil or any neutral flavored oil
•     water as required
•     salt as required

Instructions :

•     Peel the onions.
•     Rinse and slice them thinly.
•     Add the chilli powder, garam masala powder, asafoetida, salt and chick pea flour to the sliced    onions.
•     Add water and mix it to a thick and smooth consistency.
•     Add little water in the beginning as the onions will release water later and so the batter becomes too watery.
•     The pakoras won’t turn out good if the batter becomes watery.
•     You can add more besan if you feel the batter is not thick and smooth. You can always adjust the content of besan and water by adding it more if you feel you have not got the right consistency.
•     Now heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Take a teaspoonful of the onion batter and add it in the oil. On a medium heat fry the onion pakoras till golden brown.
•     Serve hot with tomato sauce, green chutney and bread or pav.
