Winter special spring onion pakoda/ piyanj kolir vela vajha

 

As soon as winter comes, I remember what to eat. How many kinds of vegetables are around. If we overcome acidity 😝😁😁 then many types of fried food can be eaten. Various types of bara or pakora can be made with different vegetables and served with tea or coffee. I tried so a little today. Very simple but very satisfying to eat.

Ingredients: Onion Springs: 4 (A little thicker is better.)
Chick pea flour /Besan: 100 grams
Rice powder: 2 tbsp
White oil: For frying. Chilli powder: 1 tablespoon
Turmeric powder: 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Kebab sticks: 3 or 4 (If you don't have kebab sticks, a toothpick will do)

Method:

 
Mix well all the above mentioned ingredients in chickpea flour and mix well with water and keep it. Make a smooth batter n keep aside.
Wash spring onions well and cut them into 3" to 4" pieces. Keep the kebab stick a little bigger than the size of the spring onions to hold it well.
Now adjust 4 pieces of spring onions to the kabab stick and prepare it for frying. Add oil to the pan... When the oil is hot enough, reduce the gas.
Dip the prepared spring onion in besan, spread besan well around and fry 2 sides of ready spring onions slowly in hot oil. I named this pakora "Vela Vaja" because it looks like a small raft. Serve with hot rice and dal or have it with tea or coffee for an evening chat.
Tell me how you feel.
Enjoy cooking.
