Recipe

Onion and Cashew Pakoras

Thinly slice two large red onions.

Whisk together 1 cup of chickpea flour (besan), 1/2 cup of rice flour, 2 tbsp broken cashew bits, 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain), 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp red chilli powder and salt to taste. Stir in 1/4 cup of yogurt (omit for dairy-free version), 2 tbsp of oil and enough water to form a thick batter.

Add the sliced onion, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro and 8-10 finely chopped curry leaves. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F/180°C. Brush/spray the tray with some oil. Place tablespoonfuls of the batter into the tray, flatten slightly and fry on each side for about 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.

Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with a little chaat masala and serve immediately.
