Pakora Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, salt, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Mix until you have a smooth batter.

Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Fry the Pakoras
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Drain and Serve
Remove the pakoras from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney or sauce of your choice.
