Method

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash and peel the potato and carrot. Chop the potato, cauliflower, carrot, and onion into thin slices. Roughly chop the spinach leaves.

  2. 2

    Combine Vegetables

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all the chopped vegetables. Mix them gently to ensure even distribution.

Preparation of Batter

  1. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a separate bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, and salt. Gradually add water and whisk until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the vegetables.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.

  2. 5

    Coat the Vegetables

    Take a small handful of the mixed vegetables and dip them into the chickpea batter, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 6

    Fry the Pakoras

    Carefully drop the coated vegetables into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the pakoras from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
