Pakora's

Recipe from Step by step Indian Cooking;

1 large potato ( I usually use a few- some yams and some white potatoes)
1 small cauliflower
1 red pepper
2-5 cabbage, spinach or Kale leaves
1 medium onion ( I use red onion)
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 cups besan (chick pea flour)
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
vegetable oil for frying


Kale from our winter garden




Method;
1)Peel and Boil potatoes - chop finely
2)Finley chop cauliflower, pepper, onion, shred cabbage
3)Make a creamy batter with remaining ingredients and cold water
4)Add the vegetables and mix evenly
5)Heat oil - drop tablespoonful of mixture into oil - fry until golden brown
6)Remove to a rack with absorbent paper on it. ( I use newspaper)
7)Serve hot with sweet mango chutney or tamarind sauce
Yield;  about 4 dozen depending on size

These freeze beautifully and make great appetizers or snacks anytime!
