CURD PAKODA

CURD PAKODA: The perfect snack for a rainy evening. The smell and the feel of having hot hot pakodas with tea and heavy rain in the background (I am in kerala currently) is one of a feeling. It can never be duplicated. I am not sure if I am the only person who has the problem of being really hungry most of the time especially when it gets cold. My mom certainly made my evening a beautiful one with her hot hot curd pakodas. It is an easy to make snack.

INGREDIENTS:

Maida -1 cup

Curd – ¼ cup

Chopped Ginger – 1 tablespoon

Green chilli chopped – 3

Red Onion – 1 medium

Salt to taste

Oil to deep fry

METHOD:

Mix all the ingredients to make a batter with thick consistency. Pour water if required. Take a heavy bottomed pan for deep frying. Take enough oil and heat it. Pour the batter into the oil using a tablespoon. Make sure that the pakodas do not stick to each other. Cook on medium heat. This will ensure that it gets cooked well on the inside. Remove the pakodas when golden brown on both sides. You may have it with ketchup or any dip or chutney as you please. Serve hot!

NB: check the sourness of your curd. You can also add thinly chopped carrots and beans to the mixture, to make it more healthy.
