Notes: 
1. I have added more onions, as i like onion flavor more. If you want to reduce you can do so.

2. You can also marinate the prawns separately using chilli powder, turmeric powder, line juice and salt for 20 min and add to the pakora mixture. 

3. You can sprinkle some chat masala on the pakoda also before serving.
