What you need
  • 1 cup gram flour (also called chickpea flour or besan);
  • 2 tbsp corn flour (optional);
  • 1 medium sized cauliflower, cut into small florets;
  • 1 onion, sliced (julienne cut);
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds;
  • 1 green chilli, chopped;
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, finely chopped;
  • few curry leaves, chopped;
  • handful of coriander leaves, chopped;
  • 1 tsp salt;
  • ¾ cup water;
  • oil.
Method
  1. In a large bowl, combine gram and corn flour with fennel seeds, green chilli, ginger, curry leaves, coriander leaves, salt and onion. Add water gradually to form a smooth batter that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Make sure the batter is not thin.
  2. Add the cauliflower florets into the batter, mix well and make sure they are coated with the batter. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
  3. Into a deep frying pan, heat enough oil for frying pakoras (2-3 cm of oil).
  4. Fry small spoonfuls of mixture in small batches for about 4 minutes, turning the fritter to cook on other side, until crispy and golden.
  5. Once done, remove the pakoras on paper towels, to remove the excess oil.
  6. Serve with chutney, ketchup or yogurt.
