For the pakoras (fritters)
- 1 cup (240 ml) broccoli, grated or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) onion, grated
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) red pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) gram flour
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil to pan fry
- Salt & pepper to taste
Others
- 5-6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 5-6 baby potatoes, boiled and halved
- Coriander or basil leaves
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the pakoras (except the oil) and mix well with your hands. Eventually the vegetables will start to leave a little water and the gram flour will help bind them, making a sticky mixture.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan.
- Make little ping pong ball sized rounds from the mixture and pan fry till crisp and brown. Rub a little oil on your hands before making the rounds so the batter doesn’t stick to your hands.
- Sandwich the pakora between two halves of tomato or potato, secure with a toothpick and serve fresh with yogurt or mint chutney.
- A really easy & cute bite sized snack!
