Ingredients

Procedure

  • 0. In a large bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking soda, salt, red chili powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric, and grated ginger (if using).
  • 1. Gradually add the cold water to the flour mixture, stirring constantly, until you have a smooth, thick batter, similar to the consistency of pancake batter.
  • 2. Heat plenty of frying oil in a deep saucepan or high-sided skillet.
  • 3. Dip the cleaned and thinly sliced vegetable slices evenly into the chickpea batter, then shake them lightly to remove any excess batter.
  • 4. Fry the batter-coated vegetables in hot oil, a few at a time, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Be sure not to overcrowd the pot or pan to ensure even cooking.
  • 5. Once cooked, drain the pakoras on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the pakoras hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as yogurt and mint sauce, tomato chutney, or tamarind chutney.
