Ingredients :
4 large onions sliced
4 green chillies cut fine
2 sprigs of curry leaves
A small bunch of coriander leaves
1 Cup gram flour/besan
2 tablespoons rice powder/flour
Baking Soda -1/2 teaspoon
Hing – ¼ teaspoon
½ teaspoon red chillie powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¾ – 1 cup water
Salt to taste
Oil for frying

Sift the flours into a large bowl. Add baking soda, salt, hing, chillie powder, turmeric powder and salt. Mix all together and add water ½ cup first and mix to make a paste. Add the remaining water a spoonful at a time till a thick paste is formed. Depending on the flour, you may just about need ¾ cup water only. The mixture should be pasty but not runny. Add the sliced onions, curry leaves, coriander leaves, green chillies and mix.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan and when it is hot enough, put blobs of the onion and flour mixture. Do not over crowd the pan. Fry on both sides till crispy. Drain on paper towels and then serve hot with a steaming cup of tea or coffee.
