Mixed Vegetable Pakora

Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpea flour (Besan)
• 2 teaspoons oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin or pakora masala
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon vegetarian chicken bouillon granules (optional)

• 1/2 cup water

Directions

1. 1

   * Boil the potato until just tender, peel and chop finely.

2. 2

   * Finely chop peppers and onion. Shred the cabbage.

3. 3

   * Mix first set of ingredients well. Beat in a blender for 4-5 minutes to incorporate air (this will make the batter fluffier).

4. 4

   * Let batter rest 1/2 hour in a warm place.

5. 5

   * Add the vegetables and mix in evenly.

6. 6

   * Deep fry in oil that is heated.

   * Drain pakoda on paper towels and serve immediately.

8. 8

   * Serve vegetable pakora with coriander or mint chutney or tomato ketchup.

9. 9

   Sometimes I use Dehydrated peppers, Cabbage, Onions, and Jalapeno with water until it is reconstituted to the equivalent. It is still pretty good.
