Piping hot pakoras served over cups of tea are an instant hit at any gathering of close friends. Made with tender cabbage leaves, this one is a winter special. Read on for the recipe:
Preparation Time - 20 mins
Ingredients - 2 cups finely shredded cabbage, 1 cup besan ( gram flour ), 1 large onion, 3-4 green chillis, 5 tbs chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup red chilli, 1/5 tsp garam masala, a pinch of baking powder, salt to taste, oil for deep frying.
Preparation - Take all the ingredients except for oil in a mixing bowl. Add sufficient water to make a thick batter ( If the batter is runny pakoras will soak up more oil ).
Cooking: Heat oil in a deep wok. Take spoonfuls of the batter and put into the hot oil. Do not put in more than 6-7 spoonfuls at a time.
Fry on all sides till crisp and light brown. Remove and put on paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
Repeat the process for remaining batter.
