Ingredients

  1. Ingredients for batter:
  2. 1/2 cup besan (chickpea flour/gram flour)
  3. 1/4 teaspoon carom seeds
  4. A pinch of baking soda
  5. Salt to taste
  7. Ingredients for spice-mix:
  8. 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  9. 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
  10. 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
  11. 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida
  12. Salt to taste
  14. Other ingredients:
  15. 2 large tomatoes, cut into slices
  16. 2 tablespoons green chutney
  17. Oil for deep-frying
  18. 1 teaspoon chaat masala

Method

  1. Combine all the ingredients for spice-mix and green chutney in a bowl. Mix well and keep aside.
  2. Place the tomato slices in a dish and spread spice-chutney mix on them with the help of a spoon.
  3. Mix all the ingredients for batter in a separate bowl along with 1/2 cup of water or as required to make a thick batter.
  4. Heat the oil for deep frying. The oil should be medium hot to fry perfect pakoras. To check, drop a bit of batter into the oil, the batter should come up, but not change color right away.
  5. Dip each tomato slice in the besan batter and drop 5-6 slices at a time into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown from both sides. Place on a dish lined with kitchen towel/absorbent paper napkins.
  6. Repeat the same process for the remaining tomato slices.
