Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup gram flour (besan)
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 medium potato, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 2 small green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh coriander, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups oil for deep frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine gram flour, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the vegetables, yet smooth and without lumps.
Add the sliced potato, onion, grated carrot, chopped spinach, green chilies, and fresh coriander to the batter. Mix well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated with the batter.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. To test the oil, drop a small amount of batter into it. If it rises to the surface and sizzles, the oil is ready.
Carefully drop small spoonfuls of the vegetable batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the pakoras in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Each batch should take about 5-7 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the pakoras from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the sugar-free crispy vegetable pakoras hot, with your choice of chutney or sauce.
