This is the basic pakora recipe which is a great place to start - remember to season to your taste with as much or as little spice as you like.
Ingredients
100g gram flour, sieved
1 medium onion
3 medium potatoes
1 tsp of salt
2 tsp of garam masala
1 tsp of turmeric
2 chillies, finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger, grated (optional)
Handful of coriander, chopped
2 tsp of dried fenugreek leaves
1 tsp of cumin seeds
½ tsp of red chilli powder
Water
Oil for deep frying
Method
Heat up the oil in a karahi or wok to a medium heat.
Slice the onion lengthways very thinly and place in a bowl.
Peel and grate (or very finely chop) the potatoes into the same bowl. You can also use aubergines and cauliflower - chop into very small pieces.
Sprinkle all the dry spices and freshly chopped coriander, chillies and ginger into the bowl and then sieve in the gram flour - mix together using your hand.
Add a small amount of water a little at a time to create a thick batter that coats all the vegetables. Squeeze the mixture through your fingers to ensure all the spices mix through. Do not leave the batter and vegetable mixture for too long before cooking.
Test your oil is hot enough by dropping a little batter into the oil. If it browns and rises immediately then it is ready. Very carefully drop in spoonfuls of the mixture into the oil and fry until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon move the pakora around, be careful not to overcrowd the karahi.
Once golden brown and crisp remove from the oil and set on some kitchen paper.

    as a 50-?

BTW, I used the hot oil to `Seal` the Pakora, then transferred them to an `Air fryer` for a few minutes to cook them & kinda `dry` them cos I don`t want to eat deep fried food! worked for me!

Immediately got to action and made it. I avoided aubergines, and added green belpepper instead, and also went on and grated a cube of cheese in. And followed your method of not makeing separate batter. turned out amazing!!

    I made these again for the second time. This time I added a grated carrot. My husband LOVES them too. I have a question about serving them. If we make them for company as an appetizer, what is your recommendation for when to cook them (as guests arrive so they're hot and keep on coming as we cook more OR ahead and keep warm in the oven?). I'm worried they will get soggy if kept warm too long. Thank you for this delicious recipe.

    Glad to hear you are enjoying them. They are best straight out of the fryer but they are also ok heated in the oven and will stay crispy. I have to say I really them cold too especially with a hot cup of sweet chai.

    If you are not British or French, "aubergine" means eggplant. Etymonline claims the word "eggplant" (also egg plant) entered the English language in 1763. Aubergine entered English in 1775, an excellent example of the rare British acceptance of French terms, spellings, and pronunciation. For the opposite, consider "garage". Of course, quite a bit of cross-Atlantic language division occurred along about 1776. The word aubergine can be traced to Arabic "albadhinjan".

But I am gonna try making the pakoras. This just brought me back the rainy days memories back in Pakistan. Thank you for sharing.

    Hi David thanks very much and I'm pleased you are able to follow the recipes with ease. You could grate the onion but I fear that will make you cry more. When you grate the cells are more damaged releasing more gas making you cry more. I would slice and just keep your hand away from your face! Hope that helps Hari

    Yes I noticed and I appreciate your liberal view, and in past eras I would also hold it but in the modern world where many have so much choice and can see directly how the meat industry is killing our sacred mother earth its time to be more prudent. I am not even against people eating meat in our human history, as it was mostly about survival, now its mostly about greed and not caring and just enjoying addictive fats at the expense of other innocent living beings. Plus people can only really make valid decisions if they have the correct information.
