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

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle immediately.

Fry the Pakoras
Using a spoon, drop small amounts of the batter-coated vegetable mixture into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain & Serve
Once done, remove the pakoras with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with green chutney or tamarind sauce.
