Pakodas.hmm...everybody knows how to make em,but are you the one who try it with various style and veggies and  if by chance you get good results,you  start making it  quite often.If so please share it with us here.I love fried snacks.hahaha..i knw..i knw...its not good.but wat do?baking doesnt give the same result as frying. I  tried hard to resist frying ...but failed...afterall  i  have indian  taste buds..   :)
neways try this pakodas,they are really hard to resist.



Ingredients :

Besan/chickpea flour - 3/4 th cup
Onions - 1 medium sliced
Carrot - 1 grated
Potato - 1 grated
Pudina/mint leaves - 1-2 sprigs chopped finely
Green chillies- 2-3 chopped finely
Ajwain - pinch
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Salt
Red chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
Oil


Method :


Cut  the veggies and keep aside.




Put in a bowl,add besan,ajwain seeds,cumin seeds,red chilli powder and mix well.(water from onions are enough,or else just wet your hand and mix the batter for that extra water).now add salt as per the quantity and mix well.




Heat oil in a deep pan/kadai.

Take little portions and drop slowly and carefully in the hot oil.

Put as many portions just to cover in the oil,dont overcrowd else pakodas will turn out soggy and soak more oil.




Turn the pakodas with a slotted spatula and cook till golden brown.




Take out on a paper towel and allow to drain excess oil.



Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.
