Vegetable Pakora recipe

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gram flour (besan)
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as onion, potato, cauliflower, spinach)
• 1 tsp fenugreek powder or garam masala
• 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix the gram flour with the fenugreek powder, chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add water to make a smooth batter that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
3. Add the mixed vegetables, ginger, and green chilies to the batter and mix well.
4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
5. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
6. Fry the pakoras until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
7. Remove the pakoras with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
8. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
