PAKORA (INDIAN VEGETABLE FRITTERS)



Pakora (Indian Vegetable Fritters) image

Recipe video above. Vegetable fritters can be so bland and uninspiring ... but not in the hands of Indian cooks! Pakoras are a traditional Indian street food made with all sorts of vegetables. I've used onion, potato and caulifloiwer, but see Note 5 for other options. Serve as starter for an Indian menu, light meal or pass around as canapes. They're gluten free and vegan so everybody can enjoy them!Spiciness: Mild. Large chillies are not that spicy, and we are using 2 across lots of pakoras! Feel free to omit/reduce the fresh chilli and chilli powder.No deep fry method - See Note 7 for shallow pan-fried version.

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 1/4 cups chickpea flour ((Note 1))
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp fenugreek powder ((Note 2))
1/2 tsp chilli powder ((pure chilli powder, Note 3))
2 tsp salt ((cooking/kosher salt))
3/4 cups + 2 1/2 tbsp water
1 1/2 cups onions (, grated using standard box grater (~1 1/2 onions))
2 cups potato ((~1 large), peeled and grated using standard box grater (Note 4))
2 1/2 cups cauliflower ((~1/4 large head), finely chopped into rice size pieces (or grate))
2 large red chillies ((cayenne peppers), finely chopped (adjust spiciness to taste, or leave them out))
1 tbsp fresh ginger (, finely grated)
2 tbsp coriander/cilantro leaves (, finely chopped)
3 - 4 cups vegetable or canola oil ((4cm / 1.5" depth in pot))
2 cups mint leaves
1 cup coriander/cilantro leaves
1/4 cup eschalot (, sliced)
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp caster sugar
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt
2 ice cubes ((loosens + keeps sauce green))
1 cup plain yoghurt
1/2 cup mint leaves (, packed)
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Make batter: Place chickpea flour in a bowl with the spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, chilli). Slow whisk in the water.
  • Mix in Vegetables: Add potato, cauliflower, onion, ginger, chilli and coriander. Mix well with a wooden spoon. It should be a thick batter, almost paste-like.
  • Preheat oven to 80°C/175°F - to keep cooked pakoras warm. Set a rack over a tray.
  • Heat oil: Heat 4cm / 1.5" oil in a large heavy based pot to 180°C/350°F (Note 6).
  • Form patties: Drop 2 tbsp of batter roughly formed into a patty shape into the oil. I use my hands (as is typical in India!) but you can also use 2 tablespoons (be careful of splash-age). Don't crowd the pot, it will lower the temperature too much.
  • Fry pakoras: Fry 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels. Keep cooked pakoras hot in the oven on a rack set over a tray.
  • Serve: Serve pakoras with Coriander Mint Sauce or Minted Yogurt Sauce!

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 seedless cucumber
1/2 large head cauliflower, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide florets (4 cups)
1/2 lb carrots (4 medium), cut into 2 1/2- by 1/2-inch sticks (2 cups)
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic (6 cloves)
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped peeled ginger
1 tablespoon mustard seeds (preferably black or brown)
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/3 cup vegetable oil
5 (2-inch) dried hot red chiles, wiped clean
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
Equipment: an electric coffee/spice grinder; a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F with rack in middle.
  • Trim end from cucumber, then halve lengthwise. Scrape out and discard any seeds with a small spoon, then cut into 2- by 1/2-inch sticks.
  • Cook cauliflower and carrots together in a large pot of boiling salted water (1 1/2 tablespoons salt for 3 quarts water), stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Drain in a colander, then put colander in an ice bath. Drain again in colander, then pat vegetables very dry.
  • Arrange cauliflower, carrots, and cucumber in 1 layer in a 17- by 12-inch shallow baking pan and bake, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are dry and slightly limp, about 30 minutes.
  • Pulse garlic and ginger with 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until finely ground, then transfer to a bowl. Pulse mustard seeds in spice grinder until coarsely ground, then stir together with remaining spices. Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates instantly. Pour oil down side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl, coating side. When oil just begins to smoke, add chiles and spice mixture and cook, stirring, 10 seconds. Add garlic mixture and cook, stirring, until golden, about 15 seconds. Add vegetables, vinegar, and brown sugar and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Transfer to a shallow dish and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and chill, shaking once or twice a day, 1 week (to allow flavors to develop).

INDIAN SPICED VEGETABLES



Indian Spiced Vegetables image

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric (eyeball it in your palm)
1 teaspoon ground coriander (eyeball it)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon curry powder (about a palmful)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 pinches of ground cinnamon
3 large waxy white potatoes, peeled and diced
Coarse salt
1 head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (once around the pan), plus some for drizzling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 15-ounce can chick peas, drained
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1 cup frozen green peas
1 small head of iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds
4 radishes, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or cilantro, your choice
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Combine the ingredients for the spice blend and reserve.
  • Place the potatoes in a pot and cover them with water. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil. Take off the lid and add salt. Boil the potatoes for 6 to 7 minutes, then add the cauliflower to the same pot. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer, then drain. The potatoes and cauliflower should still be a little undercooked.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil, then the butter. When the butter melts into the oil, add in the onions and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the drained potatoes and cauliflower and the chick peas and combine. Stir the reserved spices into the vegetables and cook for a minute or two to develop the flavors. Stir in the stock and turn the vegetables to evenly distribute. The dish will turn a bright yellow. Cook over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add the peas and turn off the heat. The carry-over heat will warm them through. Taste to adjust the salt in the dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce with the almonds, radishes, mint, and parsley or cilantro. Dress the salad with the lemon juice, a drizzle of vegetable oil, and some salt. Pile the salad on plates, top with the hot vegetables, and serve.
