COOKS AROUND TOWN - Vegetable Pakoras
What a great thing to have with my Simple Chicken Curry.
Ingredients
2 potatoes, finely diced
1 onion, very finely chopped
200g gram flour
1 fresh green chilli, finely chopped
1 heaped tsp coriander powder
1 heaped tsp cumin powder
1 heaped tsp turmeric powder
1 heaped tsp garam masalla
1 tsp chilli powder (optional if you want it spicier!)
Handful of fresh chopped corriander
1tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed/finely chopped
4fl oz water
Sunflower oil for deep frying
Method
– Combine the gram flour and water in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
– Add all the spice powders, salt, potatoes, onion and chilli to the bowl and stir into a thick, lumpy batter.
– Fry tablespoon-sized lumps of the batter for four minutes either in a deep fat fryer heated to 180c or in 4cms of oil in a deep frying pan or wok (turning regularly) also heated to 180c. 180c is the temperature at which a 1cm chunk of bread will turn golden brown in approximately one minute. Take extreme care when deep frying.
– Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot or cold.
These are great with one of my curries.
