Vegetable Pakora image

Simple and fast, yet delicious, these Indian battered and deep fried vegetable bits are great served by themselves as a snack or as an appetizer or side dish. Might I shamelessly suggest my Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) as a main dish? Serving size depends on how many other items are on one's plate to fill up on!

Time 15m

Yield 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup water
1 -2 green chili, chopped (jalapeno or your choice depending on heat pref.)
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 potatoes or 1 yam, sliced 1/4 thick
1 small cauliflower, broken into very small florets
1 cup spinach leaves, torn
1 1/2 cups onions, halved and sliced

Steps:

  • Boil the potato or yam slices until *just* tender, being careful not to overcook.
  • Mix batter ingredients well. Beat in a blender for 4-5 minutes to incorporate air (this will make the batter fluffier). Let batter rest 1/2 hour in a warm place.
  • Add the vegetables and mix in evenly.
  • Deep fry in oil that is heated to 375° until deep brown (somewhere between 4-6 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
  • Serve with cilantro or mint chutney or cucumber raita.

These pakoras were a waste of time. They were greasy and the vegetables were soggy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I was really disappointed with these pakoras. The batter was bland and the vegetables were mushy. I won't be making these again.

These pakoras were just OK. The batter was a little too thick and the vegetables were a bit undercooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
