Quick Crispy Kanda Bhajiya | Onion Pakoda | Onion Fritters

A Perfect Evening Snack with Hot Tea ☕🧅🔥

Kanda Bhajiya, also known as Onion Pakoda or Onion Fritters, is a very popular and loved Indian street food snack. Made using thinly sliced onions, gram flour (besan), rice flour, and spices, this crispy snack is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Ingredients

  • Sliced Onion - 4

  • Besan / Gram flour - 1 cup

  • Rice flour - ⅓ cup

  • Chilli powder - ½ tbsp

  • Cooking soda - ½ tsp

  • Salt - ½ tsp

  • Garlic (crushed) - 5-8 cloves (optional)

  • Green chilli - 3- 4

  • Oil – for deep frying

Preparation Method

In a mixing bowl, sieve the besan and rice flour using a strainer.

Add ½ tablespoon chilli powder, ½ teaspoon cooking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix well.

Add the crushed garlic (optional) and the sliced onions, and mix everything thoroughly.

Note: Use very little water. Onions naturally release water. If the batter becomes watery, the bhajiyas will absorb more oil and turn greasy.

Frying the Kanda Bhajiya

Heat oil in a kadai over medium flame.

Slowly drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil.

Deep fry the bhajiyas, turning them occasionally, until they become golden brown and crispy.

After frying the bhajiyas, take 3–4 green chillies, slit them in the middle, and deep fry them.
(Add a little salt to the chillies if required.)

Once well fried, remove them from the oil.

That’s it! Your crispy Kanda Bhajiya is ready to serve.

Food is not just about taste; it’s about sharing joy, warmth, and memories.
May this simple Kanda Bhajiya bring happiness to your home and make your tea time extra special ☕🧅✨
