The difference of making onion and other pakora is to make onion pakora you need to mix everything together while to make other pakoras you need to make chickpea flour paste separate and dip it with the main ingredient.
For onion pakora, the main ingredients are onion and chickpea flour. Depending on the place you buy 2 pound onion will cost less than $1.50 and chickpea flour for 1 pound cost $3. 1 pound eggplant will cost around $2. 1 pound potato will cost less than $1. 1 medium cauliflower will cost around $3. 1 packet bread will cost around $3. So with all the spices and ingredients to make one dish for 2 to 3 people will cost less than $6.
