Instructions
Cut the onions into round slices.
Sprinkle salt, red chili flake, and Italian seasoning/mixed herbs. Let it rest.
Meanwhile, prepare the batter.
In a bowl, mix gram flour, rice flour, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and lemon juice.
Add 1/2 cup water and whisk to make a smooth batter. The batter seemed very thick, so again I added 1/8 cup of water to get the right consistency.
Heat oil in a pan.
Take one onion slice, put 1 tsp of cheese over it, pour 1/4 tsp of tomato ketchup on it and cover it with another onion slice. Do the stuffing the same way in other onion slices.
Now add 1 tsp hot oil to the batter and mix. Put one ready stuffed onion slice in the batter, coat it well. Deep fry in hot oil on medium flame.
The same way put other pakodas in a pan for deep frying. I could deep fry 4 pakoda at a time.
When almost done, cook on low flame till fully done,
Take out on a plate and serve with tea or green chutney or tomato ketchup.
