Jidi Pappu Pakora. Munthiri Pakoda. Kaaju Ki Pakodi.

Ingredients:

Cashew nuts 1 bowl full(don’t split them…use only full pods)
Gram flour 2 cups
Ghee 1/4 cup
Soda 1/4 spoon
Salt
Onions thinly sliced 1 bowl
Green chilies chopped thinly like sticks 1 cup
Curry leaves 1 cup
Ginger- garlic paste 1/2 cup
Oil for frying.

Method:

In a wide tray have your gram flour well spread.

In a separate cup add salt and cooking soda. To this add the melted ghee/vanaspathi. Mix them thoroughly. Drop this mixture to the flour tray. Evenly spred them and mix them.

Now add cashew nuts, onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste and curry leaves to it.

Make a note….You should not add any water to this. The flour should be dry still. Mix them well together. In a deep pan heat oil. Just before dropping them in oil. Just sprinkle them with water(not too much) and drop it without any actual shapes. So that the onions are just caught up to the flour with very less water. Mostly improperly together. Fry it crisply…till onions are really reddish brown….with good aroma. Repeat the same procedure for every batch.

Serve warm with tomato ketchup.
