Ingredients
4
cups
Mixed Vegetables such as Carrot
capsicum, onion and cabbage
¼
cup
Besan | kadalai maavu | Garbanzo flour
¼
cup
Rice flour
Salt as needed
Red chili powder 1-2 tsp
Chaat masala 1 tsp
optional
Ajwain | omam 1/2 tsp
Carom Seeds
Coriander leaves few I use Curry leaves when available but both can be added
Oil for deep frying or air fry for healthier option
Instructions
Cut the veggies into thin long as shown in the picture.
Put that in a wide vessel and mix this nicely with hands.
Add the rice flour, besan, red chili powder, chaat masala and salt to this. as chaat masala has salt in it , add little less salt.
Mix well and add ajwain and coriander leaves. Mix it. Leave this for 5 minutes.
The onions will ooze out the water so need to add water. If you feel it is dry and not binding well, sprinkle little water.
Heat oil for frying. When the oil is hot put the pakora mix in oil in small quantities.
Cook till the pakoras becomes golden brown.
Drain the excess oil in a kitchen towel.
Enjoy pakore with ketch up, or chutney.
