vegetable pakora

Mixed Vegetable pakora are veggie fritters made in South Indian style. They are addictive, aromatic, crunchy and a delicious snack. Serve them with cup of tea or coriander chutney or mint chutney.

Pakora Recipe | Vegetable Pakora

besan ((gram flour, more if needed))

rice flour ((or 2 tablespoons corn starch, use more if needed proportionally with besan))

salt

green chili peppers (chopped

mint leaves

ginger garlic paste

garam masala powder ((optional))

carom seeds ((ajwain, optional))

carrot

capsicum ((bell peppers))

cabbage ((shredded))

onion ((thinly sliced))

french beans ((julienned))

spinach (chopped (optional))

Wash the veggies and cut to thin 2 inch long strips. Check the pictures in the post.

Add them to a bowl along with ginger garlic, green chilies (or chilli flakes), salt, garam masala, mint or other herbs. Mix well &amp; squeeze them gently to release moisture. Keep aside for 10 mins.

Add the gram flour, rice flour (or corn starch) along with ajwain (optional). Mix well to a slightly sticky dough. If the dough is too dry, sprinkle a few tablespoons of water and mix. It must be of a sticky dough consistency and not batter consistency.

Taste test and add more salt, garam masala or green chilies.

Preparation

Heat oil in a deep pan on a medium heat. Test by dropping a small portion of dough, it must sizzle and come up but not brown. This is the right temperature.

Take small portions of dough and flatten with your fingers to 1½ inch size portions and gently slide to the hot oil. You won&#39;t shape it or drop it in lumps.

Regulate the flame to medium. Do not disturb for a minute or 2 until they firm up a bit. Then stir them and fry until golden, crisp and aromatic.

Remove the vegetable pakoras to a cooling rack or steel colander. To make the next batch, ensure the oil is hot enough but not smoking hot. Fry in batches until you finish all of the prepared dough.

Serve vegetable pakora hot with a cup of masala tea, Coriander chutney or green chutney.

To keep them crispy for longer, place them on a wired rack in a low oven setting. You can also reheat them in air fryer.

How to Make Pakora

These mixed vegetable pakora are super crispy outside and tender in the middle, but pan-fried to use minimal oil! Use your favorite vegetables in a flavorful chickpea flour batter for a gluten-free, vegan snack or appetizer!

Vegetable Pakora Recipe

onion

cabbage (shredded)

bell pepper (diced)

chili pepper (finely chopped)

Tbsp fresh ginger (grated)

cilantro (or parsley, chopped)

chickpea flour

Tbsp rice flour

tsp cumin

tsp turmeric

tsp chili powder ((not spicy))

water

Oil (to fry)

You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.First, use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the onion, shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, dice the bell pepper, mince the ginger, and transfer them to a large bowl.

Add the flours, spices, and water, and mix it well to combine, then leave it to sit for some minutes.During this time, the liquid in the vegetables will mix in with the batter to create the correct consistency.

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan/skillet over medium heat with at least 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil. Once hot, use tongs (or a spoon, using another to push the batter into the pan) to drop small portions of the battered vegetables into the pan. I cook about 4 fritters at a time.

Pan-fry the vegetable pakora for 2-4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy, then transfer to paper towels or a wire cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter, and enjoy!

Thank you Elavegan for another yummy recipe that works for gluten free vegan diets. We made Pakoras last night and enjoyed them very much. Pakoras will be a regular menu item at our house now.

Thanks for sharing your recipe. Love how crispy the pakoras turned it with the small amount of olive oil used! Doubled the spices for own preference. Yummy

I really like the vegetable pakora recipe. can I replace chich pea flour with bajara flour or gram flour?

Thank you so much for this recipe. I served it with the cucumber yogurt dip. Delicious.  I will be making it a lot going forward.
