If expecting any immediate guests then this pakoda comes handy which can be prepared within 15 mins.
I and my hubby are very much fond of this onion pakoda. The method mentioned below gives the exact taste and texture as we get in the savory shops. In fact, this stays crispy and crunchy for a very long time. You can even store it in an airtight container for a week and relish. If you don’t eat onion just skip it and add cashews instead and have it as cashew pakoda. With same ingredients, you can make any pakoda of your choice like palak pakoda, carrot pakoda, cabbage pakoda etc. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
