Re: Urgent help- besan ki pikorian

if you wanna use this in a curry [kaRhii] you poach it on steam. if you like it to eat as a snack then you fry. that’s what i think. :slight_smile:

Besan cannot be poached as far as I know :smiley: And if you steam it, it will end up in the family of dhoklas/gatte.

Pakoras are always fried :slight_smile: If you want to use them in Karrhi, you first fry them in oil and then soak them in warm water for abt 10 mins. Slightly squeeze them and then add them to Karrhi. This makes the pakoras absorb the karrhi and it tastes yumm. :blush:

my sisters and mom used to poach…how it is done? you boil water, put muslin cloth over the rim of the pot…drop pakauRas like you drop them in the hot oil…the batter is however thicker than the pakauRaa batter. :slight_smile: try it! :slight_smile:

It’s not pikoras rather pikorian. Dehydrated little blobs of pikoras I think.

I don’t soak them in water for karhi, I just add them in karhi, leave the karhi on low heat, 30 mins in the karhi, the pakoras will be soft.

Re: Urgent help- besan ki pikorian

Acche nahi bane :frowning: And the taste was no where close to the fried pakoras wala karrhi. I think I’ll stick to my own recipe.

Re: Urgent help- besan ki pikorian

my pakoray for karhi go directly from oil to hot karhi…no water bath in between.

Re: Urgent help- besan ki pikorian

My folks like thick karrhi and the pakoray dont get soaked nicely. So I use water to soften them…and also putting them in water drains out a little oil and makes me believe I am eating healthy :blush:
