Onion Pakodas - Onion Bhaji

Its raining in London from the past 4 days, and nothing tastes better than Pakodas (Onion Bhaji) and masala chai (tea) accompanied by lovely music and a good book to read. In Mumbai, I used to go up on the terrace of my apartment, with a book and my Ipod sit inside a shed made on the terrace and enjoy the rain munching yummy hot onion pakodas and sipping tea prepared by my mother. Onion Bhaji is UK's favourite starter and is easily available on the shelves of all super markets.
