Instructions
 

  • Wash and clean the methi leaves and chop them. Avoid the stems.
  • In a bowl take besan, asafoetida, red chilli powder, salt, chopped ginger and carom seeds and mix them well.
  • Now add the chopped leaves into the mixture and mix it.
  • Methi leaves contain some moisture with that the dry mixture will start binding. Add little water later to make a smooth batter.
  • Heat enough oil in a wok and take a spoonful of batter and slide in the hot oil.
  • Fry the pakoras in medium flame until they are golden brown and crispy from all the sides.
  • Take them out on a tissue paper to drain the extra oil.
  • Sprinkle chaat masala on top and serve with tea or ketchup or chutney.

Notes

Avoid adding too much water at a time which will result in a runny batter.
