Ingredients

• 1 cup gram flour (besan)
• 0.75 cup water
• 1 medium potato, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 cup spinach, chopped
• 2 small green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup fresh coriander, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups oil for deep frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gram flour, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and baking soda.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the vegetables, yet smooth and without lumps.

Step 3

Add the sliced potato, onion, grated carrot, chopped spinach, green chilies, and fresh coriander to the batter. Mix well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated with the batter.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. To test the oil, drop a small amount of batter into it. If it rises to the surface and sizzles, the oil is ready.

Step 5

Carefully drop small spoonfuls of the vegetable batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Fry the pakoras in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Each batch should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, remove the pakoras from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

Serve the sugar-free crispy vegetable pakoras hot, with your choice of chutney or sauce.
