How do you make pakorai?

Answer 1

my fav  pakorai

BATTER

1  cup chickpea flour (besan)  

2  tablespoons oil  

1  teaspoon ground cumin  

1 1/2  teaspoons salt  

1/2  cup water  

VEGETABLES

1-2  green chilies, chopped (jalapeno or your choice depending on heat pref.)  

1  tablespoon cilantro, chopped  

1  potato or 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  

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.
