Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large Onions
  • 3 Large handfuls of Spinach
  • 3 Small Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 325 g Gram Flour
  • 1 tbsp Chilli Flakes
  • 2 tbsp Whole Coriander
  • 1 tbsp Ajwain seeds
  • 700 ml Water

Method
 

  1. Slice one large onion, 3 small potatoes and roughly chop 3 large handfuls of spinach.
  2. Add them all into a bowl along with the gram flour, salt, chilli flakes, ajwain seeds, coriander. Mix thoroughly until they are all fully combined.
  3. Pour in the water and continue to mix until you get a smooth consistency. You don't want it to be thick and clumpy so add more water if necessary.
  4. Heat up a neutral oil and test it to see if it hot enough by placing in a small amount of batter. If it starts to sizzle then it's ready.
  5. Using a tablespoon, add in the pakora mixture and allow it to fry, turning occasionally to ensure it cooks on both sides.
  6. Once both sides are golden brown, remove fry the oil and place into a bowl lined with a paper towel (to catch the excess oil). Serve and enjoy!
