Ingredients

Servings: 25
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 small onion
  • 3-4 Tbsp Vegetable maize (canned)
  • 175 g Besan (chickpea flour; asian style)
  • 3 TABLESPOONS Flour
  • 2 TEASPOONS Garam Masala (spice mixture; asian style)
  • 2 TEASPOONS ground cilantro
  • 1 TEASPOON Baking soda
  • 1 TEASPOON Chilli powder
  • 1 l oil for frying

Directions

  1. 1

    Quarter the peppers, clean and wash them. Peel and wash the carrot. Peel onion. Dice everything finely and mix with the corn. Sift the mizzen, flour, garam masala, coriander, baking soda and chili into a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Slowly add 300-320 ml of cold water and mix to a smooth, thick dough. Fold the vegetable mixture into the dough. Heat the oil in a wide saucepan. (It is hot enough when small bubbles rise from a wooden skewer).

  3. 3

    Using a second spoon, slide 1 tablespoon of vegetable mixture into each hot oil. Bake only so many pakoras at once that they can swim in the oil without sticking together. Turn more often and fry for 5-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Lift it out and let it drip off on kitchen paper. Tomato chutney and yoghurt-mint dip taste good with it.
