@MrNemesisydney
Did you fry pakoras on very high heat

MrNemesisydney July 28, 2011 at 5:41 am

namaste Auntyji..thanx for all the recipes and for addressing our cravings for indian recipes..we owe you a lot. i tried this recipe but found that even though the outer colour of pakora is golden brown or even brown, when i break the pakora it is still raw and wet inside the pakora with besan.. can you please let me know what am i doing wrong..thank you and blessings to your family..

@basilweir : Though its been too late that I saw your comment still I thought I’ll share what I do with the leftover oil. I use it to make paratha or dal, even vegetables sometimes. Using this oil in smaller quantities does not harm alot. To avoid having a lot of leftover oil I use a small utensil as well as smaller amount of oil as required. I hope this helps.

that looks realy good

UniAduin July 28, 2011 at 11:48 am

I find it interesting what flower you use. Is that the traditional flower to use? My dad makes it with chickpea flower as the main ingredient.

It looks really really good by the way! My mouth is watering allready. I am going to try your way in a couple of days, i just have to find some of the ingredients. ;)

@ilyt1203 if u had already fried it first and wish to reheat, make sure not to over fry it. just light one so that flour will stick and the other time u reheat it it wont turn black. but, i think the taste will be different

sarahx87 July 28, 2011 at 1:02 pm

rain and pakora. i will remember that

studiojam1 July 28, 2011 at 1:36 pm

lisasfo July 28, 2011 at 1:55 pm
