Fry the pakoras: Heat oil in a pan. Dip the onion pieces in the batter and add them to the hot oil. Fry on medium flame till they turn golden.
Serve: Remove the fried pakoras on tissue paper to drain the excess oil. Serve hot pakoras with tea or chutney.
Tips:
You can fry pakoras twice to make them crispier.
Do not make the batter too thin; otherwise, the pakoras will not turn crispy.
