This Baked Pakoda is one of the most mouth watering and delicious Indian snacks normally deep fried in oil until crispy.
Made of besan (chickpeas flour) which is rich in protein, carbohydrates but gluten free. It is more flavorful thickener than wheat flour. The same flour is used to make bonda, pakora, papadum, bhaji and many more in Indian cooking.
I too love to eat this but hesitant since it is fried. So tried the baked version, Baked Pakoda turns out amazing minus the oil, we enjoyed having it with a cup of tea.
BAKED PAKODA RECIPE
1/2 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup besan (gram flour)
2 tablespoons rice flour
1 onion chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
2 tablespoons coriander leaves
salt to taste
water
oil to grease the pan
METHOD
* Preheat oven @ 190 C and grease the baking pan.
* Combine together wheat flour, besan, rice flour, onion, chili powder, oil, fennel, coriander leaves and salt in a mixing bowl.
* Gradually add water to form a thick dough.
* Drop a teaspoonful of dough onto baking pan.
* Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy your healthy snack with a cup of tea.

Priya Mitharwal...do try this it's healthy and delicious no difference with the fried one. You could use 190 C but do watch them since it is easily browned, let me know after you have tried it....
I love pakodas too; this baked version is so much healthier than the usual fried version ( less oil consuming )must have been great for tea time!!!
Baked version is excellent idea.
Nice idea of baking delicious pakodas.
Nice attempt in making pakodas a oil free treat :) They look very good

Kim @ Quit Eating Out....Thanks for hosting dear...
These look amazing! We love Indian food, but somehow whenever I try to cook it on my own, it never turns out right. I love that you found a way to bake these instead of frying them--I bet they'd be really good with mango chutney. :)
