Baked Onion Pakoda

Two weeks back it was raining, and both hubby and I felt like having some pakoda. But the calorie factor alarmed us. Hubby suggested trying some baked pakoda, like Baked besan Bonda.  As the consistency of batter differs for both, I googled for some tips, and saw Shruti’s baked pakoda recipe. Her pakodas attracted me a lot, and I tried them with few changes

Ingredients

Besan/Chickpea flour/Garbanzo flour/Gram flour – 1/2 cup

Onion – 1 thinly sliced

Semolina/ Rice Flour – 2 tbsp 

Red Chilli Powder – 1/4 tsp

Baking Soda -1/4 tsp heaped

Hing – genorus pinch

Carom Seeds –  1/8 tsp

Oil – 2 tsp (I used olive oil)

Cookong Spray/oil – to grease ( I used Pam Olive Oil spray)

Salt – as needed

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degree Fahrenhait
• In a bowl add all the listed ingredients and mix well. Sprinkle about 1 tbsp of water
• Add aluminum foil to the baking tray and grease with cooking spray
• Take small portion and place it in such a way they don’t overlap

• Bake them for about 20  minutes turning sides in between or until they are crisp and golden brown

My Notes

• Instead of 1/4 tsp of baking soda, 3/4 tsp of baking powder can be used
• I let the onions turn brown, as we like crispy onions. You can take it out a little early as well
