Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, and salt. Gradually add water and whisk until you get a smooth, thick batter.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 4
Coat the Vegetables
Add the chopped vegetables to the batter and mix until they are well coated.
- 5
Fry the Pakoras
Using a spoon, drop small portions of the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the pakoras from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with tamarind and mint chutney.
