Onion Fritters (Onion Vada or Ulli Vada)

Snacking and listening to music…

Today has been a bitter cold day. It was all bright and sunny in the morning, all of a sudden it turned windy and started snowing real bad. Reaching home, first thing I wanted was to sip something hot to keep me cozy. After drinking a cup of coffee, I had the craving for having some fried snack. Felt very lazy to cook at first, but just as a coincidence my hubby also showed the desire to snack. I couldn’t resist my hubby’s request and stepped into the kitchen all set to make onion fritters.

Turned on my favorite music and started frying Onion fritters (Ulli Vada). As the onion fritters came out of the oil crispy and crunchy, we both dug into it. We emptied the plate and then lazed on the couch listening to more music…

Onion Fritters

Ingredients:

  • Onions, chopped- 5
  • Ginger minced- 1 1/2 tablespoon
  • Green chilies, chopped- 2
  • Chili Powder- 1 1/2 teaspoon
  • Gram Flour or Besan- 2 cups
  • Water- 1/4 cup
  • Curry leaves- 2 sprigs
  • Salt- to taste
  • Oil- enough for frying

Instruction:

  • Chop the onions small, combine onions with all the above mentioned ingredients except oil.

  • If the mixture is watery, add more of the gram flour.
  • Form small patties out of onion mixture.
  • It will be sticky, so it would be better if you make the patties and fry it immediately.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add oil.
  • When the oil is hot, place the patties into the oil.

  • Avoid crowding the patties in the oil.
  • Fry till the patties turn golden brown on both sides.

  • Remove from the oil and place the fried onion fritters on a platter lined with paper towel.
  • Enjoy onion fritters with tomato ketchup.
