Instructions
Making pakoda batter
- In a mixing bowl, take the chopped fenugreek leaves, finely chopped onions, green chillies and ginger.
- Also add 2 to 3 pinches of red chilli powder, 2 to 3 pinches of turmeric, 1 pinch of asafoetida, 1 pinch of baking soda and salt as required.
- Add the gram flour and water. The amount of water requires depends upon the quality of the gram flour.
- Begin to mix very well to make a pakora batter without any lumps. The batter is of medium consistency. Keep the batter covered for 5 to 6 minutes.
Frying methi pakoda
- Heat oil for shallow frying or deep frying in a kadai or pan. When the oil becomes moderately hot, add spoonfuls of the pakoda batter to the hot oil. Keep the heat to medium to medium high.
- Once the pakoras are cooked lightly, turn over and cook the other side.
- Fry the pakoras till they become golden and crisp.
- Remove the fried pakoras with a slotted spoon. Drain as much oil as possible while removing them.
- Drain them on kitchen paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve these methi pakodas hot with tomato sauce, cilantro chutney or tamarind chutney. They also go well as a starter snack or can also be had with roti or bread.
