KANDHA BHAJI/ONION PAKORAS !!!!!!!

I adapted this recipe from the FB food group KKKMKT posted by Geeta Shenoy. She says this is true housewife's recipe. I never ever thought that we can prepare onion pakoras by using left over cooked rice (white rice). Here we use leftover cooked rice for pakoras.

INGREDIENTS:-

onions, medium chopped - 2 if large, 3 if medium
curry leaves, chopped - 2 tb sp
coriander leaves, chopped - 2 tb sp
green chillies,  finely chopped - 3-4
turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
besan - as required to make loose dough like consistency.
cumin seeds - 1 tsp
oil for deep frying
salt to taste
left over rice - 2 fistful

METHOD:-

1. Chop onions, apply salt & keep aside.

2. Make paste of white rice in mixer. ( i added little more rice after taking this picture).

3. Mix all other ingredients (except besan) to this rice paste.

4. Now add chopped onions & mix well. And add besan ( i used approximately 4 tbsp here) & mix well.

5. Heat oil, put spoonful of batter in hot oil.

6. Deep fry pakoras on medium flame till golden brown.

 7. Remove from oil.

8. Serve hot. You can eat it as starter/evening snack/side dish with rice.

HAPPY COOKING :)))))))
