Vegetable Pakora

Veg Pakora is a delicious and crispy deep fried snack prepared with choice of vegetables, spices and besan (Gramflour). These crispy vegetable fritters are famous street food and very popular across India. These Mixed Vegetable Pakoras are an all-time favorite snack. There are so many variations of pakoras like onion pakora, paneer pakora and aloo pakora. These pakoras are soft on inside and crisp outside. This is a good option for weekend or any occassion. You may also add these in your party menu.

Mixed vegetable pakoras as the name suggests are made with a variety of vegetables. They can be made with vegetables which are available in your kitchen. Depending on the vegetable, the taste and texture can be different. You can choose your favorite veggies which you and your family like. Here I am using finely chopped carrot, cabbage, potato, capsicum and onion. If you don’t like chunks of vegetables, you can grate them.

These can be served as appetiser or snacks. You may cook these pakoras during breakfast or evening snacks. Pakoras are best served with an accompanying dipping sauce. Mix vegetable pakora goes well with green coriander chutney or tomato ketchup and a hot cup of tea.

Tips:

  • Don’t fry pakoras on low flame, they will soak lot of oil. If you are frying on too high flame, it become brown outside very fast and remains uncooked from inside.
