Tips to make Not Fried Pakoras :
You can easily make Not Fried Pakoras at Home without oil. Few tips to make Not Fried Pakoras Restaurant style: • Use vegetables which cook fast. Vegetables which take time to cook will result in dough burning. • Cut the vegetables in thin slices or shreds. This makes them cook faster and crisp. • Cook the pakoras on medium heat, not low or high. The low flame will take more time, more oil absorption and not crispy pakoras. The high flame will make them crispy from outside but with not properly cooked inside the dough. • Sieve the gram flavour, Rava sooji and rice flour to remove any impurities. • Ensure the paste is of a smooth consistency and without any lumps. • Don’t forget to add rice flour to make the pakoras. Rice flour makes them extra crisp. • Be patient when cooking the pakoras. Don’t flip them frequently, it will break them and result in undercooked pakoras. • Some vegetables have natural moisture, so don’t add much water. Otherwise, the mixture will be watery.
