Pakora Ingredients
Method
Directions
Prepare the Pakora Mixture
In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, grated potatoes, sliced onion, chopped spinach, cilantro, green chili, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix until a thick batter forms.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Fry the Pakoras
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare Shawarma Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to create a creamy sauce.
Assemble the Pakora Shawarma
Warm pita bread and layer with fried pakoras. Drizzle with shawarma sauce and add toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
