Tangy onion and chili bhajias {pakoras/fritters}

1. – Place all ingredients for pakoras/fritters in a large pan and mix well, massaging with fingers until you get a mixture that binds. Add more besan if required, or more onions.

2. – Stand for 10 minutes so the onions release a little liquid. Mix again.The mixture should hold together.

3. – Heat the oil/ghee in the 10″ kitchen aid pan. Drop a little pakora batter to check if the oil is ready. The pakora should float up immediately.

4. – Drop small amounts of batter gently into the oil, fry for a few minutes until golden brown, and then turn to fry the other side.

5. – Drain onto kitchen towels. Serve immediately with green chutney of your choice.

6. Note: Don’t overcrowd the pan with fritters while frying. Also, please make sure you keep children away from hot oil as it is very dangerous.
