5. Heat oil in a wok over a medium heat.

7. Take a small portion of the mixture in your hand and gently drop 3 to 4 small fritters into the oil and deep fry until they turn golden brown.

Note:

• The onion needs to be sliced thinly .thin slices will get cooked faster than thick slices and give a crispy texture to the pakora.
• If you prefer even crispier pakora, reduce the amount of water used in the batter.
