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!
