Spicy onion pakora is a popular Indian fritter made by thinly slicing onions and mixing them with chickpea (besan) flour, spices like red chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and a touch of ajwain or coriander, then binding the mixture with water to form a coarse batter and deep-frying spoonfuls until crisp and golden; the result is a crunchy exterior with a soft, aromatic interior where the sweetness of caramelized onions balances fiery heat, often served hot with chutneys or tea for a satisfying snack or appetizer.
