- 2 glasses of Gram Flour (Besan)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Carom Seeds (Ajwain)
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- Water (as needed)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables
- Cut the Vegetables:
- Cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Slice the pointed gourds.
- Peel and slice the potatoes.
- Cut the bottle gourd into small pieces.
- Clean the Vegetables:
- Wash all the cut vegetables thoroughly with water.
- Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Batter
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, add 2 glasses of gram flour.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of carom seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder.
- Add Water Gradually:
- Add a little water at a time to the flour mixture.
- Stir continuously to form a thick, smooth batter.
- Beat the Batter:
- Beat the batter for 3-4 minutes to ensure it’s airy and smooth, which will make the pakoras soft and fluffy.
- If the batter is too thick, add a bit more water. The batter should not be too runny or too thick.
3. Fry the Pakoras
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Coat the Vegetables:
- Dip each vegetable piece into the batter, ensuring it’s well-coated.
- Fry the Pakoras:
- Carefully place the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil.
- Fry them until they are golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the pakoras from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat:
- Repeat the process for the remaining vegetables.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve the hot, crispy mix veg pakoras with tomato sauce, green chutney, or any dip of your choice.
- They can also be enjoyed with a side of rice and dal for a complete meal.
Tips for Perfect Pakoras
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the pakoras to prevent them from absorbing too much oil.
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying; it can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy pakoras.
- Beat the batter well to make the pakoras light and fluffy.
