Onion Pakora

After a very busy work week, we both decided to have a nice relaxed, lazy Saturday. We were finishing up a movie when 3pm rolled around and it hit...Saturday afternoon snack craving! After looking through the cabinets, I decided to whip up these tasty onion fritters while Kishore picked another movie. These golden savory fritters, have the perfect amount of salt, heat, and crunch to quell your snack craving.

So here is my recipe for Onion Pakora:
