Corn onion pakoda

I know all reading this recipe will curse me saying “she is posting this recipe now when rains have gone”… So first I apologize for delay… Had been busy so couldn’t upload…

          So here is a simple snack for evening tea… A little variation from usual Onion bhaji…

Ingredients

1 cup American corn

1 cup sliced onions

1 medium boiled and mashed potato

2 finely chopped green chillies

Finely chopped coriander leaves

Salt to taste

Red chilli powder to taste

Oil for frying

2 tablespoon rice flour

1-2 cups besan or chickpea flour

1.    Roughly crush American corn in mixer. Don’t make a fine paste.

2.    In a bowl add the crushed corn, onion, mashed potatoes, green chillies, coriander leaves, red chilli powder, rice flour, salt to taste.

3.    Mix all ingredients very nicely. Don’t add water.

4.   Now add besan 1 tablespoon at a time to make a thick batter just like we make for onion bhajis. If required now you can add little water.

5.    After you get the required consistency, adjust salt & red chilli according to your taste.

6.     Heat the oil in a kadai.

7.    When the oil gets hot, lower the gas flame and with help of a wet spoon pour dollops of the above batter in hot oil.

8.   Fry till golden brown.

9.   Remove the pakodas and spread them over kitchen towel or tissue papers to drain excess oil.

10. Serve hot with ketchup or pudina chutney and hot piping ginger tea.

Note:

          In view of recent price hike of onions, you can omit onions for this recipe till the price of onions comes down… or you can add only 1 small finely diced onion, just to bring in the sweetness and crunchiness…

          Or else another option is, whenever you feel like having “kanda bhajiya” but price tag of onions don’t allow you, make this pakodas and satisfy your desire J
