Ingredients

Sathumaavu - 1/3 cup
Gram flour - 1/4 cup
Rice flour – 1 tbsp
Big onion - 2 sliced
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Hing/Asafetida - 2 pinches
Finely chopped green chillies - 1 no
Curry leaves - few chopped
Coriander leaves – few chopped
Mint leaves – few chopped
Ginger - 1/2 inch piece chopped
Hot oil - 1 tbsp
Ghee – 1/2 tsp I used frozen ghee
Water – Very little say 1.5 tbsp
Salt – as needed
Cooking oil - to deep fry

Instructions

In a wide bowl, take all the ingredients except cooking oil and ghee.Mix everything well without adding water; the onions will release some water as you mix.
Heat oil to deep fry. Take a tbsp of hot oil and add to the flour. Add ghee and mix well. Then sprinkle a few drops of water and make a dough.
To check if the oil is ready, drop a tiny amount of batter into it. If the batter rises to the surface immediately, the oil is ready. Reduce the flame to medium high & pinch in a portion of batter and drop in the oil, letting it fall gradually.
Cook till onions turn golden brown. Drain the oil on a kitchen napkin and serve.
