Vegetable Pakoras Recipes

Ingredients :

1 cup besan flour (chickpea flour)

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp garam masala

1 tsp salt

1-2 cloves garlic

3/4 cup water

1/2 cauliflower, cut into florets

2 onions, peeled and sliced into rings

oil, for deep frying

Method :

Sift the flour into a bowl; add the coriander, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, salt and garlic. Make a well in the centre and gradually add the water to form a thick, smooth batter. Coat the vegetables in batter. Heat 3-4 cm oil in a deep pan and cook the cauliflower and onions in batches for 4-5 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve with mint sauces, if desired.

Note : Small pickling onions are good for making pakoras. You can also use thick slices of eggplant or potato, or broccoli florets.
