Pakodas, or crispy, fried fritters, are a popular snack in India. This recipe keeps this snack's ingredients pretty much the same – onions, chickpea and rice flour, curry leaves, seasoning – but bakes them, instead! The result is a pakoda that's crispy on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside. Perfect with a squeeze of lemon or some chutney to dip.
