Pakoras (fritters) are different vegetables that are dipped in a spiced batter and deepfried. This is usually served as a snack or an appetizer. I've made this healthier by baking the pakoras instead of deep frying it.

Direcciones

  1. Preheat oven to 425
  2. Mix the chickpea flour, rice flour, chilli powder, salt, cilantro, ajwain/thyme/cilantro in a bowl.
  3. Add the chopped onion
  4. Add the oil
  5. Mix well - the dry powders should coat the onion well.
  6. Continue mixing - the onion will release its juices and the mix should be slightly sticky (like mashed potatoes) - if not, add a few drops of water till you get a sticky mass
  7. Grease a cookie sheet
  8. Scoop out the onion mix with a spoon on to the cookie sheet (about walnut size) about an inch apart.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes
  10. Flip the pakoras and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes till golden brown.
  11. The pakoras will be crispy on the outside and soft inside.
  12. You can sustitute grated raw potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and other similar vegetables instead of onions. If the vegetable does not yeild water (like cauliflower), add a few teaspoons of water to the mix so that it is a sticky mass and you can scoop it with a spoon.

    These looks wonderful!
    • I dislike frying and the mess associated with it, so these baked pakoras are an appealing sounding recipe that I would actually try. Thanks for posting

        Goodness, these sounds wonderful! I'm a southern gal, so these would probably make their way into my fryer. Very nice either way. Yum!!
