Add 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, and salt to taste.

Add 2 tablespoons rice flour and 3/4 cup chickpea flour to the bowl.

Mash the ingredients using your fingers until they all come together, noting that the onions will release some water during this time.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

Drop small spoonfuls of the onion mixture into the hot oil using your fingers.

Flip the pakoras a few times while frying to ensure even browning.

Fry until they are golden brown and crisp, then drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Fry the rest of the pakoras and serve immediately with ketchup or chutney.
