METHOD

Place a deep pot over medium heat with enough oil to deep fry pakoras. Mix together sliced onions, chopped coriander, turmeric powder, ajwain, baking powder, salt, green chillies and besan in a bowl. Slowly add water to make a thick batter. Once the oil is hot gently drop a tbsp of batter into the oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry, turning them a few times until golden brown and crisp all over. Remove using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat with remaining batter then set pakoras aside. For the kadhi, add yogurt, Besan, water, turmeric powder and salt to a blender and blend until smooth.
