To prepare, heat oil in a pan or deep fryer to the recommended temperature. Carefully place the frozen onion pakoras into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes a few minutes. Once cooked, remove the pakoras from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. They are best served immediately while still warm and crunchy.
