Ingredients
Chickpea flour: 2 cups
Cold water: 1.5 cups
Chopped chives: 1 bunch
Salt, red pepper, and turmeric: to taste
Baking powder: ¼ teaspoon
Oil for frying: as needed
Tomato, pickles, onion, lemon juice, and lavash bread for the sandwich
Preparation To make this tasty southern kuku sandwich, first, place the chickpea flour in a suitable bowl, add salt, red pepper, turmeric, and baking powder, and stir. Then, pour the water into the bowl and stir until the water completely mixes with the ingredients. The mixture should have a consistency similar to yogurt. Chop the chives and add them to the mixture, then stir. Now, place the kuku mixture in the fridge for 1 hour. After this time, heat some oil in a frying pan until it gets hot. The oil should be enough for the kuku to be immersed. Take a small scoop of the kuku mixture and drop it into the hot oil. Let the kuku set, and after one side is fried, gently flip it to fry the other side as well. Once done, place the fried kuku on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Open a lavash bread, arrange the ready pakora in the center of the bread, and decorate it with slices of tomato, pickles, and onion. Add a little lemon juice, then roll the bread into a sandwich. You can also serve it with sandwich bread. Enjoy!
Important Tip Pakora, like many southern dishes, has a spicy taste and uses red pepper in its preparation. The amount of red pepper used in this recipe depends on your personal taste, so you can adjust the amount based on how spicy you prefer it.
