Vegetable Pakoda

This last Friday evening I wanted to make a quick snack to serve with tea when my hubby dear got back from work......Onion pakoda was what came to my mind immediately..just to create a variation to that, I decided to make vegetable pakoda using just corn flour and a little maida.......this was done in about 20 mins.......real quick...and to my surprise it turned out sooooooooo well just like the crispy pakodas we get in India......so here goes the vegetable pakoda recipe.....enjoy with a cup of tea/coffee.
Ingredients:
Vegetables chopped- 2 cups (I used thinly sliced red onions, cabbage & cauliflower)
Corn flour- 4 or 5 tbsps
All purpose flour- 1 tbsp
baking soda- 1/2 tsp
chopped ginger- 1 tbsp
chilli powder-1 tbsp
salt to taste
curry leaves
cilantro leaves- 2 tbsp (chopped)
Green chilly- 1 or 2 chopped
Hing - a pinch
Oil
water to sprinkle
Method:
Put all the cut veggies in a bowl. Add all the above mentioned ingredients to it and sprinkle some water little by little to mix it(just enough water to help the flour and spices stick to the veggies).....it should not be diluted or too thin like baji flour.....in the meantime heat oil in a pan to deep fry the pakodas and add 1 tbsp of that hot oil to this pakoda flour mix(this makes the pakoda crispier).....once the oil is hot put in the pakodas slowly and when u drop it into the oil make sure you separate them with ur fingers so the pakodas will turn out crispier....keep in medium flame and cook until the pakodas turn light brown and crispy...Drain it in a paper towel and then serve hot.
