For preparing pakoda curry, first fry the chopped onion and tomato. When they turn into golden colour, remove it from the stove and allow to cool.
Then make a paste of this mix as shown in the picture below. Keep this aside.
Mix the basen with some chopped onion, red chilly powder, turmeric powder, salt and required quantity of water and make the mix as shown in the picture below.
Heat oil in a pan and then put the paste(either make small balls or take small quantity of paste in table-spoon) and put it into the pan.
When the pakoda is ready, take it out from the pan and keep it separately.
Heat a cooking pan, add some oil into the pan and then add the paste(already prepared with onion and tomato) along with red chilly powder, turmeric powder, salt and the fried pakoda and required quantity of water. Boil it for about 10 minutes and then remove it from the stove.
Also can decorate the pakoda curry with coriander leaves, onion, tomato etc.This curry can be served with chappathi, poori or as side dish with boiled/fried rice.
