Vegetable Pakoras

[swalia]

You can try vegetable pakoras. I am sharing the recipe below:

1 cup Chickpea Flour (Besan)
2 tsp Oil
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 -2 Chopped Green Chillies (Jalapeno)
1/2 cup Water
1 Potato
1 small Cauliflower
2 Cabbage
5 leaves Spinach sliced
1 1/2 cup Sliced Onion

How to make vegetable pakora:

• Boil the potato until just tender, peel and chop finely.
• Finely chop cauliflower and onion. Shred the cabbage and spinach.
• Mix first set of 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°.
• Drain pakoda on paper towels and serve immediately.
• Serve vegetable pakora with coriander or mint chutney or tomato ketchup

Pakoras a very popular in the UK as a snack. I make them from time to time but usually add more spices than this recipe has: garam masala, turmeric, asafetida etc. I've never added shredded cabbage - I assume the recipe ingredients mean 2 cabbage leaves not 2 cabbages!!!

It does sound amazing or interesting as you said but I don't know I am going to be trying it anytime soon. @SatNavSaysStraightOn might like this as I believe she likes peas. Me, not so much. I am happy to leave out the peas and work with the other ingredients except I have no clue what Pakoras are.

I love Indian food and pakoras are a favorite of mine! I've never made my own though - I've only had them at restaurants! The recipe seems simple enough so I really have no excuse not to try it!

Basically they are simply vegetables deep-fried in a spicy batter. So really very easy to make.

we can make pakoda from any vegetales, but cabbage, potato, egg plant and onion make the best pakoda. I love to eat pokoda. I can also cook pokoda myself. It is really easy to cook

In my haste I thought I read chickpeas when in fact it is chickpea FLOUR. I guess everything makes more sense now. It's not to say I knew what pakodas were anyway. When I am done I am going to be food expert here on this little rock or at least among my friends.
