Details and Ingredients

Ullivada is a classic Kerala snack, featuring thinly sliced onions mixed with a batter of gram flour (besan), rice flour, and spices like turmeric, red chili powder, and crushed fennel seeds. Dropped in small clusters into hot oil and fried until golden and crisp, these fritters offer a delightful crunch with a burst of savory onion flavor.

Perfect as a tea-time treat or rainy-day snack, Ullivada pairs wonderfully with Kerala chai or a side of coconut chutney, embodying the rustic charm of South Indian coastal cuisine.
