Method

Mix the flour and onions in a bowl and add the cumin and ginger. Mix in the eggs. You should have a thick batter, but add just enough milk so the batter is the thickness of double cream.
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to 1cm deep and heat until very hot. Put tablespoons of the mix into the pan and cook for a couple of minutes or until the pakoras are firm
