Sprinkle required salt evenly on the onion and slowly separate the layers.Leave it for 3 to 4 minutes.So that onions leave the moisture.

Now add turmeric powder,red chilli powder, 2 tsp of grinded dhania-ajwain powder and coriander leaves.Mix well.

Now add besan,rice flour.Mix well to coat the onions with flour.Sprinkle water each time and mix the flour to make a moist thick dough. Here I needed around 4 to 5 tbsp water.The dough must be tight.

Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying pakoda.Check if the oil is hot,drop a tiny piece of dough in oil if it rise then oil is hot enough for making pakodas.
