Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
1 cup | All-purpose flour |
½ cup | Raw chickpea flour (besan) |
1 tablespoon | Instant yeast powder |
1 teaspoon | Baking powder |
50 grams | Green onions |
50 grams | Leeks |
50 grams | Parsley |
50 grams | Coriander leaves |
1 cup | Lukewarm water |
1 teaspoon | Garlic powder |
1 teaspoon | Onion powder |
½ teaspoon | Red chili powder |
½ teaspoon | Black pepper |
1 teaspoon | Turmeric powder |
As needed | Salt and cooking oil |
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, instant yeast powder, and baking powder. Add lukewarm water gradually and mix well until you get a smooth batter.
Add garlic powder along with onion powder, red chili powder, black pepper, turmeric, and salt. Mix all the spices thoroughly with the prepared batter.
Finely chop the green onions, coriander leaves, parsley, and leeks. Add the chopped vegetables to the batter and mix everything well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Add more water if needed and mix until the mixture becomes soft, slightly stretchy, and smooth. If the batter is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding a small amount of water. Let it rest for about 20 minutes before frying.
Heat enough oil in a deep pan so that the pakoras can float while frying. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil. Fry until the pakoras become golden, crispy, and fully cooked.
Take the fried pakoras out and place them on a paper towel to remove extra oil. This helps maintain their crispy texture.
Your crispy and fluffy pakoras are now ready to enjoy. Serve them hot with spicy chutney, yogurt sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Pakora is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together the richness of Indian spices, fresh herbs, and a satisfying crunchy texture, making it a perfect choice for snacks, gatherings, or a light vegetarian meal.
