Chetna, thank you for this video! I've thrown away SO many dough-y, oily pakoras in the past. But this recipe and technique made all the difference. Love the ginger and garlic and minced coriander. They came out perfect! Now the challenge will be not to make and eat them every day. I also made your Aloo Gobi yesterday and that was perfect, too. These are going in my handwritten journal of favorite recipes. Thank you so much.
My mother would add all the spices, salt to the onion, massage it well and leave it for a approx 10 mins. The onions would have leached water then she would add the besan/ gramflour. The pakoras would be crispy.
I do that but they dont cook properly inside :(
@@avivagros9222 You should flatten the balls of chickpea flour, it should be like an alu tikki. Then you should not put it in too hot oil cos then the outside gets cooked and insides will remain kaccha.
@@akankshapatwari4167 thank you! I make them so small and cook them at 320f. How do British I dian chefs make such big bhajis successfully!!
@@avivagros9222 Deep frying pakora in oil is very very very easy. You don't need any fancy equipment to deep fry. You just need a deep pan, oil and a heat source. Heat the oil, I test the temperature pretty crudely like my mom did. I place a miniscule amount of batter in the oil. If it sinks and remains at the bottom then the oil needs to heat up. If the batter rises to the top too rapidly and colours then the oil is too hot. You need to scoop the batter in your hand, flatten into a disc and then drop it gently in the oil. You need to either press the pakora down a bit after it is a bit firm or use a spoon to move the hot oil on top of it. Now turn the bhajiya once and let it remain for a few secs . Then remove the pakoras to a tissue lined plate/ bowl.
@Akanksha Patwari thank you for your detailed reply. I do everything you say. I have a special fryer with temperature control but next I will try your mums/your method of dropping a bit of batter in because the only problem I can think of is that there's something wrong with the temperature control and the oil is hotter than it says. Bless you, you're a good person :)
Such a helpful video! I can't wait to make it! I love you channel and your books!
They look wonderful. Thank you for making the recipe so simplified!

Nice! I made them last month. Your recipe looks better n less messy. Will try it. Thanks

Your recipe is very nice and nutritious
I've just made them (finishing up frying as I'm typing this) and they are just amazing! I shared with my dad as well as my three-year-old niece and they both loved them. Thank you Chetna!
Absolutely delicious. I’m going to try these next week. Thank you ❤

Your grater is from IKEA. I’ve had the same one for years! Love your recipes ✌️
Made many pakoras . But this is the best it’s a must 😊
Hi Chetna i found your video tonight and i love this recipe... i prefer making this than onion rings its much easier than doing a wet mix to dip onions before frying thanks😋😋😋😋 i will definitely make this way ubstead of onion rings🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love the simplicity of this recipe. Now I understand why some pakoras taste so soggy. Its all to do with the flour ratio. I will make these tomorrow.
Yessssss
