Vegetable Pakora Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion (diced or thinly sliced)
• 1 medium carrot (grated)
• 3/4 cup cabbage (shredded)
• 1/2 bell pepper (diced)
• 1 hot chili pepper (finely chopped)
• 1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
• 1/4 cup cilantro (or parsley, chopped)
• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 3 Tbsp rice flour
• 3/4-1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tsp chili powder ((not spicy))
• 1/2 cup water
• Oil (to fry)

Instructions

1. 1

   You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.First, use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the onion, shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, dice the bell pepper, mince the ginger, and transfer them to a large bowl.

2. 2

   Add the flours, spices, and water, and mix it well to combine, then leave it to sit for some minutes.During this time, the liquid in the vegetables will mix in with the batter to create the correct consistency.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan/skillet over medium heat with at least 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil. Once hot, use tongs (or a spoon, using another to push the batter into the pan) to drop small portions of the battered vegetables into the pan. I cook about 4 fritters at a time.

4. 4

   Pan-fry the vegetable pakora for 2-4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy, then transfer to paper towels or a wire cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter, and enjoy!
