Onion pakoda in Airfriyer

Onion pakoda is a crispy Indian snack spiced fritter, made mainly with onion and gram flour. This is a healthy version I made in the air fryer, using very little oil while keeping all the tradional flavor and crunch.

Ingredients

Onion - 1 large thinly sliced

Besan (gram flour): ½ cup

Rice flour: 2 tbsp

chilli powder 1 teaspoon

Turmeric powder- ¼ teaspoon

Ajwain/ carom seeds: ½ tsp

Coriander seeds: ½ tsp crush between palms

Fennel seeds: ½ tsp

Curry leaves 8 to 10

Baking soda 1 pinch (optional)

Salt to taste

Oil for brushing

Preparation

Slice the onion thin. Add salt rest for 10 minutes, if you want to add 100 grams of cabbage, it’s completely optional.

Add besan flour, rice flour, Chilli powder, turmeric powder. Salt, and ajwain. Add Fennel seeds, coriander seeds, curry leaves and baking soda optional Add a little water. Mix the batter.

The batter should coat the onion and clump together.

Preheat the air fryer 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 180 degrees Celsius. Drop the rough clumps into the basket and do not over crowd. Spray with oil, Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket for 6 minutes.

For a golden crisp, increase the temperature to 400 degrees in heat. For 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer to a plate and serve with mint chutney.
