Servings: 6
Calories: 199kcal
Ingredients
- 1 red onion julienned
- 1 green bell pepper julienned
- 3 small potatoes 14 oz or 400 g, peeled and grated
- 1 handful fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne flakes optional
- ¾ cup chickpea flour
- ½ cup water
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
Instructions
- I used a box grater to grate the potatoes, but feel free to julienne them into thin strips if you want.
- Add the veggies, cilantro and spices to a large mixing bowl and stir.
- Then add the chickpea flour and water and mix until well combined. I prefer to use my hands, but it's up to you.
- Heat some oil in a skillet and drop in spoonfuls of the mixture. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown (about 2 to 3 minutes on each side).
- Serve immediately with some green chutney or your favorite sauce.
- Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days.
Notes
- Feel free to use any veggies, herbs and spices you want.
- If you don't like spicy food, omit the cayenne flakes or add less. Garam masala is also spicy, so keep that in mind.
- I haven't made this recipe with no oil, but I think it should work if you bake the pakoras instead of frying them.
