Vegetable Pakora
Pakora’s are one of our favorites whenever we enjoy Indian food. I love the spicy flavors and the vegetables in these fried dumplings type appetizers.
1 C chickpea flour
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp garam masala
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp chili powder
1½ tsp salt
¾ C water
1 - 2 jalapenos, seeded, deveined and chopped
1 tbsp cilantro, fresh chopped
1 C cooked potato or yam, cut into ¼ cubes
1 C cauliflower, broken into very small florets
1 C spinach, chopped
1½ C onions, coarsely chopped
Make the batter by mixing the chickpea flour, oil, spices and water. Beat the batter for 4-5 minutes to incorporate some air into the mix. Let batter rest for 30 minutes in a warm place. After resting the batter, mix in the chopped vegetables.
Drop a large dollop of the batter and vegetable mix into hot oil and fry until deep brown about 4-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. Serve with curry mayonnaise or chutney.
