Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets
- 100 grams gram flour (besan)
- 50 grams rice flour
- 150 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 500 milliliters oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and pat them dry using a paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, carom seeds, and salt.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter is formed. Ensure the batter is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Add lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves to the batter and mix well.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully place the coated fish pieces into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each batch for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pakoras with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with mint chutney or your favorite dip.
