Please can some kind person write down a good recipe for me. I made them today (mixed onion and chopped potato.)

  1. They were oily soggy inside
  2. Didn’t rise properley, kind of stayed flat. ( even though i used bicarbonate of soda)

i need a recipe for mixed onion and potato pakoras please. I would probably use about 1 and a half cups besan. How would eliminate the above problems which occured.

Re: How do you make nice pakoray?

I think the problem is with your ratio of water to basin and then the time you are letting it in the oil. The basin shouldn't have excess water in it. If it does, add more basin to make it a likke think.

Always try one pakoray in the oil before adding more. That way, you know where you stand in term of ingredient. The oil also gets hot and then it is ready to add more.

Another thing my Ami told me. Before you take our the pakoras from the frying pan or whatever, poke a knife in it while it is in the oil. If the knife brings paste with it, it is still uncooked from inside. If the knife is dry and oily, the Pakora is ready to be taken out....

The amount of heat you keep under the pan is another crucial factor. If it is too hight, the pakora can be ready from outside bt uncooked from inside so keep the amount of heat in consideration too......:)

Re: How do you make nice pakoray?

My pakoray are always really nice. I just make them without thinking so let me see if I can put a recipe together for you.

Potatoes
Onions
I try to put in all the spices in my cupboard Chilli powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, haldi, tandoori masala (not too much), chicken curry masala, salt. I just chuck it all in.
Palak. (spinach)
Fresh coriander.
Besan( put it through the sieve first)
Some people also add 1 egg but I dont.

Add water slowly as u mix and dont let it get too runny. When you have mixed it hold the spoon up and it shouldnt be dripping more than 1-2 drops. That should be the right consistency.

Heat the oil on medium. Make sure you dont put the pakoray in the oil if its not hot enough. When its hot Put the pakoray in (not too big) and turn over after
1-2 minutes. Keep on medium heat and keep turning occasionally. I think it takes about 6-7 minutes but I've never actually timed it. So you might have to guesss that one. Whengolden brown remove from oil with a holey spoon and drain the oil thoroughly.
Hope that makes sense. :)

yeah my mom puts an egg in her besan mix...they turn out nice and crispy...she says that when she puts in baking soda, the pakoras turn a dark colour, instead of the nice golden colour....

Re: How do you make nice pakoray?

it usually happens too when your oil is Not very hot and you put besan mix in just a warm oil

Types of torture

Re: How do you make nice pakoray?

For puffier pakora, add a good pinch of baking soda for every cup of besan you use. Also, be sure to add warm water and not cold to the batter, and let it sit for a good 30 minutes before using it to leaven.

How old was your baking soda? It only stays good around a year, depending on the humidity and stuff. Put a 1/2 teaspoon or so in a tablespoon of vinegar. If it fizzes and bubbles, it is still good. IF not, throw it out.

If they are oily then it sounds like your oil is not hot enough.

Re: How do you make nice pakoray?

also make sure you dont use too much besan mixture in ratio to the veggies, the besan mixture should not be watery, rather thick and just slightly coating the veggies. THey taste better that way.
