Vegetable Pakora Recipe
Ingredients
- East at Home Onion Bhaji Mix
- 1 large (150g) onion peeled and finely sliced
- 1 large potato sliced into thin matchsticks
- 2 large handfuls of fresh baby spinach roughly chopped
- 1 egg
- Handful of chopped coriander (optional)
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
In a bowl add all the ingredients except for the oil and combine until the mixture becomes a sticky, and slightly doughy consistency. If the mixture is still dry add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water.
Form the mixture into balls roughly 4 cm diameter and 40g each.
Heat some oil for deep frying to 160°C. Gently place the balls in the hot oil in small batches.
Deep fry (for best results)
Deep fry for around 5-7 minutes turning the pakoras occasionally so that they cook evenly and turn a deep golden brown.Drain the pakoras on kitchen paper and serve whilst hot with a mint sauce dip.
OR alternatively air fry
- Heat the air fryer to 160°C. Brush or spray the pakoras generously with oil and place in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
- Turn the pakoras over and brush or spray again with oil. Cook for a further 10 minutes until they are cooked evenly and turn a deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked properly.
Tips
You can add other vegetables such as courgette, cauliflower, aubergine etc - just ensure they are all cut to a similar size.
Smaller pakoras will cook quicker and be crispier.
Add a few finely chopped chillies to the mixture to add a spicy kick to the pakoras.
