Ingredients
- 7 oz gram flour (chickpea flour)
- 1 potato, grated
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3½ oz spinach, chopped
- 3½ oz cauliflower, in small florets
- 1 tsp ajwain seeds
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 green chilli, chopped
- 2½ cups vegetable oil, for frying
Method
- Stir the gram flour with the ajwain, turmeric, ground coriander, green chilli and salt, adding water a little at a time to make a thick batter like double cream.
- Fold the grated potato, onion, spinach and cauliflower through the batter so everything is coated.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan to 350°F.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the oil and fry in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, until crisp and dark golden — pakora should crunch audibly. Add a splash more water to the batter between batches if it thickens.
- Drain on kitchen paper, season with salt, and serve hot.
