Directions

Combine all the dry ingredients except the salt, peanuts, and onions. Mix well.

Add the onions, peanuts, 1 tsp oil, and salt. Mix well, then keep aside for about 10 minutes. The moisture from the onions will ooze out into the batter.

Adding a little bit of water at a time, make a dough that will form chunks but break into pieces with a little bit of pressure. The consistency should be the same as when making scones. Too much water and the pakoda will not be crunchy.

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed cooking vessel.

Shape the dough into chunks, and deep-fry them in medium-hot oil until golden-brown and crispy. Too much turmeric might give it a darker color.

Serve hot or room temperature.
