Faithful to our devotion to the world of fried foods, today we bring you a very easy recipe of indian cuisine that will serve to satisfy your desire for fried foods with hardly any complications and that, if you want, you can do in the oven.
It can also become an air fryer recipe, since the complication and need for oil is very little, but in this case we are going to do vegetable pakora in the traditional wayso we will fry them in sunflower oil.
Another advantage is that they are suitable for coeliacs or gluten intolerant because chickpea flour is used for this batter and not wheat flour, so we continue to gain support for the pakora cause.
Similar to bhaji another classic fry of Indian cuisinethe trick to making a good vegetable pakora is in the way that we are going to give it with our thumb, which is very easy, and which will also allow you to make them very quickly.
In a bowl, grate the potato and carrot. Then cut the spring onion into half rings and the aubergine in one centimeter cubes.
We salt everything we incorporate the masala chat and mix all the ingredients well. Add the chickpea flour, mixing well with your hands so that it adheres well to all the pieces of vegetables, approximately 150 grams of flour.
Gradually add the cold water. Incorporating with your hands until you get a semi-liquid mass that you can take with your hand but it drips and we put a frying pan to heat with the sunflower oil.
Fry in oil at 180ºC the balls that we are taking with the four fingers and releasing with the thumb on the oil, should not be uniform balls, but we see the shape of the different vegetables.
Drain on a rack or on absorbent paper and we eat very hotaccompanied by a yogurt with a squeeze of lime and chopped mint or a mango chutney.

With what to accompany the vegetable pakora
Can keep the level of this hindu snack at the cost of some samosas and also accompany the mixture with a raita or even serve a classic biryani or a curry-tinged recipe such as korma as a first course. Of course, if we garnish the menu with some naan bread or papadum and chutney, all the better.
