    Notes

    • Add Cornflour to make crispy pakora
    • Don't add the vegetables in Besan mixture for too long otherwise the pakora will be soggy right after taking out from the oil.
    • Place pakora on grill or kitchen paper to release excessive oil. 
    • Don't cover the pakora after frying. 
    • Use fresh besan to get the best result of pakoras
    • Always use the small quantity of baking soda otherwise the pakora will absorb more oil during frying.
