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

    Clean or peel and wash the vegetables. Peel onion. Dice everything finely and mix with the corn.

  2. 2

    Sift the mizzen, flour, garam masala, coriander, baking soda and chilli into a large bowl. Slowly add 300-320 ml of cold water and mix to a smooth, thick dough. Fold the vegetable mixture into the dough.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a wide saucepan. (It is hot enough when small bubbles rise from a wooden skewer). Using a second spoon, slide 1 tablespoon of vegetable mixture into the hot fat. Bake only so many pakoras at once that they can swim in the fat without sticking together.

  4. 4

    Turn more often and fry for 5-6 minutes. Lift out and let it drip off on kitchen paper. Serve with tomato chutney and yoghurt mint dip.
