Broccoli Pakora
Broccoli Pakora is a delicious Indian snack. It is a spicy, crispy snack that serves as a great appetizer for any occasion. It can be served with chutney or tomato sauce or any other hot sauce.
- 8-10 Broccoli Florets
- 1 cup Besan/gram Flour
- 1/4 Cup Rice Flour
- 1 Tbsp All Purpose Flour/maida
- 1 Tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 1/4 Tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/4 Tsp Hing/asafoetida
- 1 Pinch Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 Tsp Salt - (adjust To Taste)
- 3/4 Cup Water - (adjust As Needed)
- 1 Cup Oil For Frying -
In a wide bowl combine all the dry ingredients(Besan, Rice Flour, All purpose flour, Red chilli powder, Turmeric powder, Asafoetida, Baking soda and Salt)
Add water to this slowly to make a smooth batter. The batter should not be too thin or thick. Consistency should be like Idli/Dosa/Pancake batter.
Heat oil in Kadai in a medium high flame.
Dip the Broccoli Florets into the batter to make sure its evenly coated with the batter.
When oil is hot enough,(you can test this by adding a drop of batter into oil. It should come up nicely without getting getting dark/burnt immediately) add the battered Broccoli into the oil one by one slowly. Reduce the flame to medium.
Deep fry the Pakoras until crisp and golden brown turning them slowly in between.
Remove them from the oil using slotted spoon and drain excess oil in a paper towel. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
