Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add the corn kernels and red onion.
- Using your hand, squeeze and mash the vegetables through your fingers, mixing well and releasing corn milk. Now add the garlic, ginger paste, and chile. MIx all together.
- Add the Dry Ingredients to the vegetables, mixing well to form a wet, clumpy mixture. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to hold a scoop together (or tablespoon of chickpea flour if too loose) to fry.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan or saucepan (large enough to cook four pakoras at a time) over medium heat to reach 300°F.
- Use a 1/4 cup scoop and fry in batches of 4 to not over crowd and drop the oil temperature. Cook 3 minutes per side and golden brown. Drain on paper towel lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven (250°F ) while you finish frying remaining pakoras. Typically makes 12-14 pakoras.
- Serve with either Sweet and Spicy Tomato Chutney, Major Grey Chutney, Tomato Pachadi Chutney, Mint and Coriander Chutney or dipping sauce of choice.
Notes
- If you can't get kashmiri red chili powder a good substitute = 3/4 tsp smoked paprika plus 1/4 cayenne powder.
