Vegetable Pakora Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix the gram flour, baking powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, salt, black pepper, and water to form a smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the mixed vegetables into small bite-sized pieces and add them to the batter. Stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Pakoras

    Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the pakoras with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney or sauce of your choice.
