Ragi pakoda / Millet Pakora

  Ragi pakoda is a famous snack in Coimbatore region. My mom makes this occasionally  instead of pakoda with besan flour,  for a change. It tastes good. And very easy to prepare. You can make it in a jiffy, if you have all ingredients available in your pantry. 

Here is the recipe...

Ingredients:

Ragi flour - 4 ladles full

Besan flour - 1 ladle full

Chilli powder - 1 tsp

Onion - 3 medium sized

Fried gram/ potu kadalai - 1 fist full

Coriander leaves - 1 fist full

Curry leaves - 4 sprigs 

Salt as needed

Water as needed

Oil for deep frying

Method:

1.  Slice the onions and keep it ready.

 2. Take all the ingredients mentioned above except water and oil in a large bowl.

3. Mix well. Now add water little by little and knead well to form a dough . If you add more water, It will not make your pakodas crispy.

4. Heat oil in a pan. When oil gets heated , put the above mixture in a sprinkled way and  deep fry it in a medium flame.

5. After it gets cooked( bubbles in a oil stops) drain it in a paper towel.

Now Serve it with tea or coffee as a evening snack.

and this is for you...

Notes:

• You can also powder fried gram  and add instead of besan flour.
  
  
• Don't add more water,  and make the dough soggy. the dough should be pliable.
