Οδηγίες

Making the Pakora Batter

In a bowl, mix together the chickpea flour and spices. Mix well.

Add 3-4 tablespoons of water until a thick batter forms.

Add the vegetables and mix well. If needed add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the batter is just clinging to the surface of the vegetables.

Once the pakora batter is ready, set it aside.

Frying the Mixed Vegetable Pakora

In a dutch oven pot or heavy bottomed wok, bring oil to medium high heat.

To see if the oil is ready for frying, drop a little bit of batter into the oil. If it floats up immediately, the oil is too hot for frying. If the batter takes about 2 seconds to float up, then the oil is ready for frying.

Using two tablespoons (watch video) or using your hands, drop the batter into the oil. Fry only a few pakoras at a time. Too many pakoras will crowd the wok, and cause the temperature of the oil to drop and the pakoras won’t cook evenly.

Gently flip the pakoras while frying so that they cook evenly from all sides.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the pakoras from the wok and place on a cooling rack.

Serve with green chutney or imli ki chutney or with the garlic dipping yogurt sauce recipe included.

Garlic Yogurt Dipping Sauce

Mix all the ingredients together, and serve with the pakora.
