Ingredients

▢ 2 cup Fenugreek spinach leaves
▢ 1 cup Gram flour besan
▢ 2 tbsp Rice flour
▢ 1 Onion chopped finely
▢ 1 tsp Red chili powder
▢ 1/4 tsp carom seeds
▢ 1/4 tsp Garam Masala
▢ 2 pinch Dry Mango Powder
▢ 1 pinch asafoetida hing
▢ Salt to taste
▢ Oil for deep frying

Instructions

▢
Wash the methi leaves thoroughly and chop them roughly and keep it aside. In a mixing bowl, add the methi leaves, gram flour, rice flour, chopped onions, red chilli powder, ajwain seeds, amchoor powder, garam masala, asafetida and salt and mix well.
▢
Add little water to this and mix everything well to make a thick batter.
▢
Heat sufficient oil in a deep bottomed pan or kadai. Add a spoonful of batter into the oil and deep fry them over medium flame till they are golden brown on both the sides and crispy. Remove them with the slotted spoon.
▢
Serve methi pakodas hot with tomato ketchup or coconut chutney.

Recipe Notes

Deep fry the pakodas on a medium flame so that they get cooked evenly.
Do not overcrowd the pakodas while deep frying.
Adding amchoor powder to the batter reduces the bitterness of the methi leaves.
Pakoda batter should be of medium consistency, neither too thick nor too thin.
