Step 1

Gradually sprinkle in the rice flour to the mixture, stirring continuously, until a thick batter is formed.Step 5
Heat a pan or deep fryer with enough oil for deep frying. Using a small spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.Step 6
Fry the pakoras until golden brown and crisp then remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.Step 7
Serve the hot pakoras with your favourite dips or chutneys and enjoy.
