Every once in a while, I make something that is deep fried. As an afternoon snack on a weekend. As an accompaniment to a meal when I don't feel like making a vegetable. But the times are few and far between. So, when we do have something like this, it is truly a treat.
This is something I grew up with. The occasional Sunday lunch was accompanied by stuff like this
1 cup Onions, sliced
1 tsp Green Chilli paste
1 tsp Ginger paste
1/2 cup Gram flour (Besan)
1 tsp Chilli Powder
1/4 tsp Asafoetida
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
Heat the oil in a kadhai.
In a vessel, mix all the other ingredients together without adding any water. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture into the hot oil and fry till reddish brown.
Drain on absorbent paper and serve with tomato ketchup or with some rice and dal.
In addition to sending this to the JFI event, I am also sending this to Mansi for her game night party event.
