Please tell me the exact measurements and ingredients to make pakoras.
I need to know before ramadan, so that I can perfect my pakora making skills.
Thanks.
Has anyone tried making pakoras with carbonated water? They taste lovely.
I don't think anyone can claim to have made a perfect Pakora.
^^ except for me :) ......
Try to ameliorate otherwise you will have a bland Ramazan.
i never measure when making pakorey; usually you just take about maybe a handful of besan (wheat flour) and mix water in until its like the consistency of tomatoe paste, or little thicker. then you can put like sliced potatoes, eggplant, onions, etc in it. my mom even adds shrimp sometimes (i dun really like it, but my bros are in love with it). and you just deep fry and enjoy.
pakorey with soda? can you please explain more.........i mean how you make it and is it like meethey pakorey or something?
the perfect pakora

Just want to clarify: besan IS NOT wheat flour. Besan is actually gram flour.
Besides carbonated water, I've used Eno which does the same thing I guess. The result is fluffy and lighter pakoray. I like to add potatoe, onion, peas, chicken, salt and spices and ofcourse basin. I don't measure. It's the Desi way, just eyeball it and estimate. You really can't fail. Then just deep fry.
saima :- how much carbonated water do you add and when ? can you explain ? Also, in terms of carbonated, do you mean like PERIER water ?
Just add a pinch of bicarbonate of soda.
i have the perfect pakora..
add a pinch of baking soda to it and watch the magic.
Didn't I just say that? :p
put an egg in ur besanmix, ur pakora will be crispy
:yukh: hanie, do people in general do that? 
dunno, my mother tried it once and the pakoré turned out very crispy.
