Vegetable Pakora | The Best Spinach & Potato Pakora Recipe
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I love Pakoras especially when they are crispy and crunchy, and when I take my first bite and they are super soft and fluffy on the inside. Pakoras are not only eaten on special occasions, but can be enjoyed any time of the day and my perfectly spiced Spinach & Potato Pakoras are a wonderful accompaniment to a hot cup of chai, or as a starter for a nice meal for guests.
Make these to enjoy with family and friends, during a meal, as a snack, or as a festive feast served up during the month of Ramadan, these will go down a treat.
See below how I make mine
========================================================
Prep time -10 mins
Cooking - 20-30mins

Awesome Sister, Delicious : Snap Shot Moment of the 'Perfect Crunch' Pakora ! x
I just tried making using your method and they turned as good as you said they would. Lovely in the middle and crispy on out. I made small batch and they were loved so much they were finished in 10 minutes. I always look at recipes for all types of food on here and TikTok but my results never as I wanted but I was pleasantly surprised this time. Nice detailed and clear tutorial, thank you

Hi Tazeem, thank you for your comment. Great to hear this was well recieved. You can but please be aware the mixture does become runny. Which may cause difficulty when coming to fry the pakoras. You can prep the veg etc and place the dry ingredients into the besan the night before and then mix it up before you fry. I don't recommend mixing it up and placing the wet batter in the fridge.

I used to work for an Indian family run leisurewear company in the Midlands many years ago. Every so often a big box of samosas and pakoras would appear in the kitchen. I was told they were left over from a wedding or some other celebration, but I suppose they could've been specially bought for the staff as well. I'd be back and forth from my work station to the kitchen getting some for me and the bloke I worked with😆 Just so moorish. Great times, the ladies in the sewing room just loved me as I was learning punabi off them, they'd be laughing. I started work there 'paatala' but ended up leaving 'mutta'. Took me years to burn off that food! 🤣 Can this be made with plain flour?

Loved reading this!! Im afraid that is exactly what happens when you develop a love for desi food. 😊👍 No as the gram flour batter is what makes the pakore and cannot be achieved with plain flour.

Hi why did u add yogurt?
I've always struggled w/ Pakora recipes that tell you to just add all the veg in a bowl and THEN add the basan and spices and water and mix the whole thing up. Making a batter and THEN adding the veg seems like a genius hack. I'll be doing mine this way from now. Thanks!!

Why yogurt is added in pakora , what it does ?
@MyLittleKitchenRecipes
Жыл бұрын
Hi, the yoghurt gives a nice soft fluffy texture inside whilst the outside is nice and crispy.
I'm still getting the insides a bit raw. Outside crispy and golden brown. Any suggestions?
@MyLittleKitchenRecipes
Жыл бұрын
You oil is too hot. Get it hot, add your pakoras in and after adding maybe 3/4 lower your heat setting to medium. Add the remaining batch and allow to cook on meduin until they have held their shape. Then turn the heat on medium high and cook until nice and crispy. The key is to keep them moving in the hot oil after they've held their shape of course.
Not keen on spinach. Any suggestions as an alternative?

Hi Majestic, thank you for your comment. Yes you are correct. They do but what I feel is that even though the pakoras are soft and fluffy they don't turn crispy on the outside. Also they seem to brown very quickly and turn dark in colour as opposed to the ones were you add yoghurt.
Besides the cumin seeds and coriander seeds, no spices are needed (besides salt and bit of red chilli poweder), try it! it's more tasty.
Made them, serves Coconut chutney, they vanished, amazin*. Forgot to weigh them! Now I have to make them for the mosque, don’t know how much to make for 70 people. Any idea about the weight of the pakoras plz? Thanks
