    batter for the pakora
  • Add a few tbsp spoons of water each time till you can mix a lump free batter thicker than honey.
  • Heat the oil to medium heat. To test the oil when you drop a bit of the batter it should sizzle up and not sink to the bottom.
  • Take a small portion of the batter in your hand and pinch bits of it into the hot oil. Alternately, you can drop a spoonful of it into the oil too.
  • Once the batter looks cooked on one side, flip over and cook till golden brown on the other side. The bubbles that appear around the batter bit will also reduce. This means the pakora is ready
  • Drain the pakoras out of the oil.
  • Serve hot with chai and chutney of your liking.
