Chef's Notes
Treat the onion squeezing stage like a therapeutic stress-relieving session. The more you massage the onions, the more moisture they release, which means less added water and a dramatically crispier final bite.
Pro Tip
Drop a tiny pinch of the batter into the hot oil before frying the batch; if it floats right back up with a gentle sizzle, your oil is at the optimal temperature.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dumping a massive, dense clump of batter straight into lukewarm oil will cause the pakoda to instantly absorb all the grease like a sponge, transforming your gorgeous crispy snack into a soggy oil bomb.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the onion cry during the recipe preparation? Because it realized it was destined to be deep-fried while looking fabulous.
The Culinary Science
Gram flour contains virtually no gluten, which prevents these pakodas from becoming bready or chewy, leaving you with an entirely crisp, light, and delicate crunch.
