Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. To check 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 or your hands, drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the pakoras from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with chutney or sauce.
