I got this one from "Samaithu Par" book by Meenakshi Ammal, first published in the year 1972.
Ingredients
Besan flour - 2 cups
Rice flour - 1/2 cup
Onions (slit into thin long pieces) - 1 cup
Green Chillies - 8 -10 nos. finely chopped
Ginger - 1 inch bit, finely chopped
Cashews - 1/4th of a cup
Baking Soda - 1 tsp
Ghee - 1 tsp
Curry leaves
Coriander
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry
Method
Mix onions, cashews, ginger, green chilles, curry leaves and coriander. Top it with the ghee and mix them using hand.
Mix seperately besan flour, rice flour, baking soda and salt.
Add the flour mix to the onion mix and make it into a dough by adding water little at a time. The dough should fall into seperate small lumps and should not form into one big lump.
Heat oil in a kadai. Take a handful of dough at a time and pinch them into small bits directly into the oil. Fry them well on both the sides.
Take them out when they are brown all around and drain them in a paper towel. Serve with coffee for an evening snack.
