Vegetable pakora | Mix Veg Pakora

Vegetable Pakora

Veg Pakora is a delicious and crispy deep fried snack prepared with choice of vegetables, spices and besan (Gramflour). These crispy vegetable fritters are famous street food and very popular across India. These Mixed Vegetable Pakoras are an all-time favorite snack. There are so many variations of pakoras like onion pakora, paneer pakora and aloo pakora. These pakoras are soft on inside and crisp outside. This is a good option for weekend or any occassion. You may also add these in your party menu.

Mixed vegetable pakoras as the name suggests are made with a variety of vegetables. They can be made with vegetables which are available in your kitchen. Depending on the vegetable, the taste and texture can be different. You can choose your favorite veggies which you and your family like. Here I am using finely chopped carrot, cabbage, potato, capsicum and onion. If you don’t like chunks of vegetables, you can grate them.

These can be served as appetiser or snacks. You may cook these pakoras during breakfast or evening snacks. Pakoras are best served with an accompanying dipping sauce. Mix vegetable pakora goes well with green coriander chutney or tomato ketchup and a hot cup of tea.

A small pinch of heeng (Asafoetida)

Drop few pakoras at a time and fry them on medium heat till they become golden brown and crisp from all sides.
Drain on a kitchen paper towel or an absorbent paper.
Serve immediately with green chutney and tomato ketchup.

Tips:

  • Don’t add too much water while making batter as veggies also releases moisture. Use water just enough to coat all the ingredients.
  • Don’t fry pakoras on low flame, they will soak lot of oil. If you are frying on too high flame, it become brown outside very fast and remains uncooked from inside.
  • Chop veggies finely otherwise they will take lots of time to cook.
  • You can add rice flour to make them more crispy.
  • Fry pakoras in small batches.

This Dal is usually has a medium to thick consistency and it gets even thicker and creamier as it cools down. Whole lentils have high fibres and take too much time to cook so soak them for 30 minutes before cooking and then cook in a pressure cooker. Then you can temper this with onion tomato or only heeng jeera. You can give some flavor by adding garam masala and amchoor powder that you prefer.
