Make a thick pakora batter with half of the chickpea flour, chopped onion, half of the salt, and a little water.
Drop the pakora batter by spoonfuls into hot oil, fry for 5 minutes, and remove.
Whisk the yogurt, remaining chickpea flour, turmeric, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, remaining salt, and hot water.
Transfer the yogurt mixture to a pot and cook over medium heat for 18 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the pakoras to the kadhi sauce and soften for 8 minutes.
Serve kadhi pakora hot over rice pilaf.
💡 Tip: Whisk constantly when adding the yogurt to the pot; if it curdles, the sauce turns grainy, so keep the heat at medium.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kadhi pakora over plain rice pilaf, with lemony onion salad if desired.
