MinsServes: 10-12 

 Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded or finely chopped cabbage.

• 1½ cup besan/chick pea flour

• ½ tsp red chili powder

• 1 green chili, finely chopped

• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

• ½ tsp cumin seeds

• a pinch of asafoetida

• ¾ cup water

• salt

oil for frying         

Ingredients

 In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except oil. Add more water if required. The pakora batter should not be thin.

1. Check the seasoning. If salt or the spiciness is less, accordingly add the salt or chili powder.
2. Heat oil in a pan for deep frying the pakoras. Keep the flame medium. When the oil becomes hot, take spoonful of the pakora batter and pour it in the oil.
3. Add 5-6 spoonfuls of the batter in the oil, individually. So you have 5-6 pakoras frying at a time. Fry the pakoras in batches like this till they are half cooked.
4. Remove the half cooked pakoras. Press these pakoras slightly with your hand or a spatula. Take care that they do not break while pressing. Now again fry the pakoras till they become crisp and golden brown.
5. Using this technique for frying the cabbage pakoras makes them crisp. If you want, you could fry them completely at once, instead of half frying them first.
