making veg pakora

9. slice 2 small baingan (brinjals) thinly and keep them in salted water for about 15 to 20 minutes.

10. thinly slice 1 large potato. slit the 4 green chillies without breaking them. the top and the base of the green chillies must be intact. also slice 3 breads and place aside.

11. now heat oil for deep frying the veg pakoras.

12. dip the vegetable slices one by one in the batter and slid them into the oil. i have fried the potato slices first.

13. turn over after 2-3 minutes and fry the other side.

14. similarly dip the slit green chilies into the pakora batter and slid them in hot oil.

15. turn over after 2-3 minutes and fry the other side.

16. now fry the bread slices in the same way. fry them till they become crisp and golden brown.

17. finally fry the brinjal slices same way. fry them till they become crisp and golden brown.

18. fry the pakoras in batches depending upon the capacity of the kadai. don’t over crowd the pakoras in the kadai as then it will be difficult to turn them or fry them properly.

19. when they are crisp and golden brown remove from oil. keep the fried veg pakoda on kitchen tissue. sprinkle some chaat masala on the pakoras.

serve the mix veg pakora piping hot with tomato sauce or some chutney.
