Ingredients

• 1 - Medium-sized onion (finely chopped)

• 4 to 5 - Green chillies finely chopped into tiny pieces
• A handful of dry peanuts

• One cup - water
• Salt to taste

How to Make Onion Pudina Pakodas

• Mix all the ingredients for the batter in a bowl with water to make a fine paste.
• Make sure the paste isn't too watery but not too thick either. It would help to add the water little by little so that you get the right consistency.
• Add the chopped onions, mint leaves, green chillies, and peanuts to the batter. Mix well.
• Heat enough oil in a kadai for deep-frying.
• Take a small handful of the batter, enough to make a ball and slip it into the oil.
• Repeat till the batter with all the other ingredients are finished.
• Fry till golden brown and take it out of the oil.
• Serve hot with mint chutney or by itself.
