Very simple and quick to make, here's adding the recipe and adding it to the WYF:Tea Time Snack Event



Ingredients:

Oil- To deep fry

Besan/Gram Flour- 2 cups

Water- To make paste

Ajwain- 1 Tsp

Green Chillies- 4 (Chopped)

Red Chilli Powder- 1 Tsp or to taste

Salt- To taste

Garam Masala- 1/2 Tsp

Potatoes- 1 (Sliced thin either long or oval)

Onion 1 - Sliced

Gobhi- 1/2 cup- chopped bite sized

Spring Onions- 4-6



PS: You can take any vegetable or any quantity you want to make



Method:

1. Keep the oil in a kadai/pan on medium heat.

2. While the oil is getting heated, lets prepare the batter for pakoras

3. Take Besan/Gram Flour in a bowl and add chopped green chillies, salt, red chilli powder, garam masala and mix. Then add water slowly, stirring it well making sure there are no lumps.

4. Add enough water to make a smooth, medium thick batter. It shouldn't be watery or very thick.

5. Now dip each vegetable in the batter so that it gets well coated and then deep fry in the oil

6. Fry till the pakoras turn golden brown from each side. Don't fry on high flame as it will then get fried fast from outside but inside it won't be cooked properly.

7. Take out in a paper towel so that all the extra oil gets soaked in the towel.



Serve Hot with Chutney/Sauce along with Hot Tea or Coffee.
