When I finally arrived home, my first instinct was to warm up with a hot beverage. After enjoying a cup of coffee, I found myself craving some fried snacks. Initially, I felt too lazy to cook, but to my surprise, my husband also expressed a desire for a snack at the same time. Unable to resist his request, I eagerly headed to the kitchen with the intention of making ulli vada or onion fritters.<\/p>\n<p>With my favorite music playing in the background, I started the process of frying the onion fritters (Ulli Vada). As they emerged from the hot oil, perfectly crispy and crunchy, both my husband and I indulged in them. We devoured the entire plate of fritters and then lounged on the couch, enjoying more music together.<\/p>\n<p>Ulli vada, a beloved snack in Kerala, is renowned for its simplicity, requiring only a handful of basic ingredients. It is a common evening treat in many Kerala households, often savored alongside a comforting cup of tea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ulli Vada Or Onion Fritters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6376 size-full\" title=\"Onion Fritters\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/onion-fritters.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/onion-fritters.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/onion-fritters-290x200.jpg 290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><strong>Ingredients, Makes 9 fritters\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Onions, sliced thin- 3<\/li>\n<li>Ginger, grated- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Green chilies, chopped- 2<\/li>\n<li>Chili Powder- 1\/2 teaspoon<\/li>\n<li>Gram flour or Besan- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li>Curry leaves, chopped- 10 leaves<\/li>\n<li>Salt- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Coconut Oil- enough for frying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This recipe will make 9 fritters, double or triple the ingredients to make a large batch.<\/li>\n<li>I used yellow onions for making this, you can also use red onions.<\/li>\n<li>Slice the onions thin &amp;
