Vegetable Fritters (Pakoras)
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare your choice of vegetables. Cut those which require longer cooking into smaller pieces than the quick-cooking ones. Pat vegetables dry with a paper towel so the batter will stick well.
Heat vegetable oil to 375° F.
Combine first six batter ingredients in a bowl. Add water slowly, using up to 1 ½ cups, until batter is the consistency of pancake batter.
Dip vegetables into the batter to coat. Deep-fry 4 to 6 at a time until golden brown.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve at once with chutney or ketchup.
Note: Tart dried seeds of the pomegranate fruit are sold in Indian specialty stores. The seeds should always be rinsed thoroughly before use.
