Mix Vegetable Pakoda is an easy to make Indian starter prepared with mixed vegetables, chickpea flour, and a few spices. Vegan & Gluten-free.
Pakodas are one of my go to evening snacks to be made on a chilly or rainy evening along with some masala chai. These savoury appetizer are super quick & easy to prepare. An awesome and healthy variation for regular Onion Pakora.
I have used gram flour (besan) that is easily available in your local indian grocery stores. You may also use chickpea flour instead. Use vegetables of your choices.
How to make Vegetable Pakoda
- Cut all the vegetables lengthwise and finely chopped spinach, coriander, curry leaves, ginger and green chilies.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except rice flour and besan, mix well and squeeze so that mixture releases moisture.
- Furthermore, add rice flour and besan and mix until mixture is coated well with besan. Refer video for consistency
- Keep the oil in deep frying pan, make sure the oil hot for frying. Drop the mixture in oil in batches.
- Stir them occasionally.
- Fry them till are crispy and golden brown color. Sprinkle some chat masala powder on top.
- Serve mix veg pakoda with masala tea and ketchup.
Serving Suggestions
Pakoras taste delicious on their own, or can be served with your favourite chutney or chili sauce.
Notes:
- You can use any vegetables of your choice like sweet corn, eggplant, beans.
- Do not coat vegetables with too much besan mixture, it will not turn crispy.
