Pakoda
Pakoda
Pakoda is a popular Indian snack made by deep-frying various ingredients like vegetables, fritters, or meat in a spiced chickpea flour batter. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it a perfect savory treat enjoyed with chutney or sauces.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 1 medium potato peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 green chili finely chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
- Gradually add water to the flour mixture to make a thick batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Add sliced onions, potatoes, bell pepper, and green chili to the batter. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the vegetable batter into the oil. Fry the pakodas in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the pakodas until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to flip them halfway through for even cooking.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pakodas and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
- Enjoy!
