Step 1
Mix chickpea flour, salt, cumin, and red chili powder in a bowl.
Step 2
Add water slowly, stirring until a thick batter forms (no lumps).
Step 3
Fold in sliced onions and half the jalapeños until evenly coated.
Step 4
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Test with a tiny batter drop — it should sizzle immediately.
Step 5
Drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with fresh jalapeño slices on the side.
