Crispy Onion Pakoda

Onion pakoda/Eerulli pakoda is very easy to prepare and can be prepared and served as a snack when guest arrives without prior notice. I prefer to eat during rainy season. Onion and besan are the main ingredients for onion pakoda. Onion pakoda can be prepared crispy and even soft. This is crispy version of onion pakoda.
