A couple of tricks -
If you add baking soda or 'Eno' salt, it can be crispy and absorb less oil.
Pakoras can be made of spinach or onions or even an assortments of vegetables.
You can also add a variety of stuff to add a zing - roasted cumin, chopped garlic and ginger tot he batter or sprinkle rock salt/ chaat masala on top.
