Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 medium potato chopped
  • 1 small onion peeled and finely chopped
  • small chunk cauliflower broken into tiny florets (around 50g)
  • 4 tablespoons gram flour (besan or chickpea flour) sifted
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon chilli powder optional
  • 3-4 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil for cooking unless baking
  • pinch salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the prepared vegetables in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl mix together the gram flour and the garam masala (and chilli powder and salt if using) then slowly stir in the water until you have a thick batter. Combine with the vegetables.

To fry your pakora

  • Heat a shallow layer of oil in a non-stick frying pan. When hot add small spoonfuls of the batter and fry on both sides until golden brown. You can also deep dry these.
  • Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Serve with a yoghurt dip as a snack or starter, or alongside a curry for your main course.

To bake your pakora

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with non-stick parchment paper.
  • Place six spoonfuls of the pakora batter onto your prepared baking tray.
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown, turning halfway.
  • Serve with your favourite yoghurt dip, chutney or pickle.
