Pakora or Bhajia Recipe Video - Panner, Aloo, Mix Vegetables Pakoras Recipe by Bhavna

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of besan (chickpea flour), 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Add cold water gradually while mixing to create a smooth batter.

Chop 1/2 cup each of potatoes, onions, spinach, and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.

Add the chopped vegetables and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro to the batter, mixing well to coat.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the pakoras until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove the pakoras with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle some chaat masala on top and serve with chutneys.
