PAKORA (INDIAN VEGETABLE FRITTERS)

Pakora (Indian Vegetable Fritters) image

Recipe video above. Vegetable fritters can be so bland and uninspiring ... but not in the hands of Indian cooks! Pakoras are a traditional Indian street food made with all sorts of vegetables. I've used onion, potato and caulifloiwer, but see Note 5 for other options. Serve as starter for an Indian menu, light meal or pass around as canapes. They're gluten free and vegan so everybody can enjoy them!Spiciness: Mild. Large chillies are not that spicy, and we are using 2 across lots of pakoras! Feel free to omit/reduce the fresh chilli and chilli powder.No deep fry method - See Note 7 for shallow pan-fried version.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups chickpea flour ((Note 1))
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp fenugreek powder ((Note 2))
1/2 tsp chilli powder ((pure chilli powder, Note 3))
2 tsp salt ((cooking/kosher salt))
3/4 cups + 2 1/2 tbsp water
1 1/2 cups onions (, grated using standard box grater (~1 1/2 onions))
2 cups potato ((~1 large), peeled and grated using standard box grater (Note 4))
2 1/2 cups cauliflower ((~1/4 large head), finely chopped into rice size pieces (or grate))
2 large red chillies ((cayenne peppers), finely chopped (adjust spiciness to taste, or leave them out))
1 tbsp fresh ginger (, finely grated)
2 tbsp coriander/cilantro leaves (, finely chopped)
3 - 4 cups vegetable or canola oil ((4cm / 1.5" depth in pot))
2 cups mint leaves
1 cup coriander/cilantro leaves
1/4 cup eschalot (, sliced)
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp caster sugar
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt
2 ice cubes ((loosens + keeps sauce green))
1 cup plain yoghurt
1/2 cup mint leaves (, packed)
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

Make batter: Place chickpea flour in a bowl with the spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, chilli). Slow whisk in the water.
Mix in Vegetables: Add potato, cauliflower, onion, ginger, chilli and coriander. Mix well with a wooden spoon. It should be a thick batter, almost paste-like.
Preheat oven to 80°C/175°F - to keep cooked pakoras warm. Set a rack over a tray.
Heat oil: Heat 4cm / 1.5" oil in a large heavy based pot to 180°C/350°F (Note 6).
Form patties: Drop 2 tbsp of batter roughly formed into a patty shape into the oil. I use my hands (as is typical in India!) but you can also use 2 tablespoons (be careful of splash-age). Don't crowd the pot, it will lower the temperature too much.
Fry pakoras: Fry 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels. Keep cooked pakoras hot in the oven on a rack set over a tray.
Serve: Serve pakoras with Coriander Mint Sauce or Minted Yogurt Sauce!

SPINACH PAKORA (FRITTERS)

Spinach Pakora (fritters) image

Fritters or pakoras are considered the most readily available snack any time of the day. It is a treat especially in cold rainy weather when the aroma of fried dough and vegetables is very comforting. These can be made in advance and frozen. Warm in a 350 degreeF oven before serving. Makes 40-45 pieces. This is from Kusum's book 'Recipes with a Spice - Indian cuisine for balanced nutrition'.

Yield 40 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 cups gram flour (besan)
1/2 cup rice flour
10 ounces chopped spinach
2 chopped onions
2 potatoes, chopped or grated
oil (for frying, about 2-inch deep in a wok)
1 teaspoon crushed green chili pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon mango powder
1 teaspoon crushed pomegranate seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Sift the gram flour.
Mix all the ingredients (except oil), to make a smooth and thick (almost like dough) batter.
Cover and let it stand for ½ hour.
Sprinkle little water if needed.
(If using frozen spinach, thaw before using.) Blend in all the seasonings (except salt) and mix well.
(You may chill the batter in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or more until it can be handled.) Mix in salt when ready to cook.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or wok on medium to high heat.
For each pakora, scoop a heaped teaspoon of the batter, and with a second spoon, scrape the mixture into the hot oil.
Put the'pakoras' in a single layer in the skillet.
Fry, turning them with a slotted flat spatula, until all sides become golden brown.
(Regulate the heat as needed while the'pakoras' are being fried.) Remove and drain on paper towels or brown paper bag lined with plastic.
Fry all the'pakoras' this way.
Serve hot with any chutney.
Variation: Add 1 cup corn kernels to the mixture for extra crispness.
May also add ½ teaspoon baking soda to ensure softness.
