Bitterguard Pakoda also known as bitterguard pakoda is a crispy snack recipe which is very famous in Tamil Nadu. Thinly sliced onions dusted with a spicy flour mixture and then fried until crisp which makes a perfect tea time snack. I am a very big fan of this onion Pakoda and I always make this crispy snack for coffee during rainy days and enjoy sightseeing. This recipe is little different from onion Bajji, for bajji the consistency of the batter is little runny whereas in pakoda we should sprinkle water just enough to hold everything together and do not add too much of water. The specialty of this crunchy onion pakora is smells great as soon as you enter home and makes us crave for more.

Cooking Method


Step 1) Slicetheonionslengthwise and add it to a bowl. Add slit greenchilies,fennelseeds, Chili powder,Asafoetida, Oil, curry leaves  coriander leaves (finely chopped)  and salt. Mix all the ingredients well
Water  

Step 2) Add besan and rice flour to the onions and mix well. Do not add water at this point, because the onions releases its own moisture so sprinkle water only when you are ready for frying.

Step 3) Once you are ready to fry sprinkle a very little amount of water, just enough to bind them together.Do not add too much of water, if we add more water then it will not be crispy and taste like bajji.
Step 4) Heat oil in a kadai and once the oil is nice and hot deep fry them in small batches.Once it turns nice and crispy drain the excess oil and take it off from the oil.
That's it our crispy Onion Pakkoda is ready to be served with a cup of hot tea/ coffee.I love to have this Onion Pakoda as a side for curd rice, my friend Preethi suggested this combination , from then on I am following the same, what a lovely combination !!!!.
Notes:

  • Do not add water early, the bitterguard releases its own moisture so add water only when your are ready to fry.
  • Do not add too much of water, add water just enough to coat the onions.
  • fry the pakodas on medium-hot oil otherwise it may soak more oil.
  • you can add some besan+rice flour to adjust the consistency.

Paruppu Kanji|Payasam Paruppu Kanji|Fasting Recipes

By
Paruppu Kanji|Payasam Paruppu Kanji|Fasting Recipes In our house we observe monthly fasts for Ekadashi. I have been observing the fast for a few years now. This Kanji is usually prepared on fasting days, especially on Shivarathri. My mother and MIL both prepare this kanji for Ekadashis too. This is very much like the paruppu payasam, except that since it is a kanji, we avoid adding cardamom and roasted cashewnuts. There is another variation to this kanji, which is prepared by adding both Broken wheat or Godhumai Ravai and Pasi Paruppu. That also tastes very good. Makes 3 to 4 cups What you’ll need Split Moong Dal/Payatham paruppu/Pasi Paruppu – ¾ cup Powdered Jaggery – ¾ cup Milk – 2.5 to 3 cup Method Heat a Kadai, and dry roast the dal until it starts changing color and a nice aroma starts coming. Transfer it to a vessel, add just enough water, the water level needs to be just above the dal and pressure cook it for 3 whistles or until the dal is very soft. You could also c...
