Ingredients
- 1 Cup Besan flour 10 ml glass
- 1/2 Cup Rice flour
- 1 no Onion
- 1/8 Cup Peanuts
- Few Curry leaves
- Few Cilantro
- 2 no Green chillies
- 4 tsp Red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder

Instructions
- Heat enough oil in a deep kadai for frying. Keep the flame on medium heat while preparing the batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, add besan (gram flour), rice flour, salt, turmeric powder, and red chilli powder. Mix everything well using your hands.
- Wash and finely chop the onions, curry leaves, coriander leaves (cilantro), and green chillies. Add them to the flour mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Add 2 tablespoons of hot oil from the kadai to the mixture. Sprinkle water little by little and mix until you get a thick, crumbly batter. Do not add too much water.
- Drop a small portion of the batter into the hot oil. If it sizzles immediately and rises to the surface, the oil is ready for frying.
- Take small portions of the batter in your hand and pinch them directly into the hot oil. Fry in batches over medium heat, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
- Once the pakodas turn golden brown and crispy, remove them using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Serve the hot and crispy Killu Pakoda with a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect evening snack.
