Onion Pakoda (Street food Style )

Crispy and crunchy onion Pakoda

These pakoda will taste amazing with hot cup of tea on rainy days/Winter days . Mostly we bought this in India at street shops. My husband’s favorite snack. Tried it at home , it came out almost similar to street style. When I started making it , I thought finally it will come out like usual onion pakora 🤣...
