Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 cup Spinach chopped, packed
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 medium Potato peeled and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup French Beans trimmed and finely chopped
- 2 Chili finely chopped (adjust to taste), green
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Gram Flour besan
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Carom Seeds ajwain
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Other
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup Water or as needed to adjust batter consistency
- Vegetable Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
- Clean and finely chop all the vegetables: spinach, onion, potato, French beans, and green chilies.
Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, chickpea flour, chili flakes, carom seeds, and salt.
Mix and Adjust Consistency
- Gradually add water, mixing until you achieve a thick, sticky batter. The consistency should be similar to a thick pancake batter.
Fry the Pakoras
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook Until Golden Brown
- Fry the pakoras, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Drain and Serve
- Remove the pakoras from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Pakoras
- For extra crispy pakoras, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; fry in small batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
- If the batter seems too thick, add a little more water; if it's too thin, add a little more chickpea flour.
- Experiment with other vegetables! Add carrots, cauliflower, or even bell peppers for a fun twist.
