Question

everytime i make pakoras, they taste good but turn out flat not round? What should i be adding to the mix of gram flour, onion, veggies and spices?

Answer 1

baking soda should help! Here's my recipe!

2/3 cup gram flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons cold water
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup peeled and chopped potatoes
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch saffron

Combine flour and baking soda.
Add cold water slowly.
Stir until moistened.
Add rest of ingredients but don't over-mix.
Drop by tablespoonfuls into hot oil.
Fry until both sides are golden brown.
Caution: Don't put too much dough in at once, or it will turn out gooey in the middle.
