HOW I MADE VEGETABLE PAKORA!! | Recipe from one of our SUBSCRIBERS!

[@Obelixlxxvi]

Coconut oil will completely change the flavour profile. Vegetable (sunflower oil) has a more neutral flavour profile and the end product will also be lighter. And if you are in love with Mustard oil then nothing else matters 😄

[@FitnessSuryavanshivlog-yw2jp]

Yeah..musterd oil is best for Pkoras (pakodas)

[@aeonsleo2]

Nothing but mustard oil for Desi cooking

[@butter5144]

Muster oil is the way the go

[@mohitgupta1738]

I agree with you normal vegetable oil is good to go with pakoda's I can never imagine in coconut oil 😂🤣😅

[@sinnella1]

Mustard oil is definitely the best

Alfonso is so cute & respectful, after tasting the food his face says no but his mouth says I like it ☺️

[@rockersupernova7210]

Amazing! The recipe that man at store suggested is Southern style probably Kerala style of cooking Pakoda. In North India, Pakora is a Vegan dish, we don't use Eggs in it and also we generally use Soybean refined oil or MustardOil(preferred as its better for health) for frying.

[@alfonsoandjessica]

yes he was from Kerala :)

Coconut oil is healthier.

[@prakashusha3006]

One tip: if you're using veggies which has high water contain, instead of making batter separate, put dry mix into veggie and add salt in it. Veggies will reduce water and then add water if need

Mam your doing great and showing much love towards India. Only mistake was you need to fry coriander seeds in a hot pan and you have to crush them a bit, it's makes a difference in taste

Pakoda mix with brinjal cauliflower onion gramflour deep fried in oil is very tasty and this is eaten in morning /evening time with coriander chutney/tomato sauce and tea . It is common snack in india, Jessica.

Thank you so much for promoting and making Indian recipes you are so lovely. One suggestion you can use refined olive oil that makes delicious Indian dishes. Coconut oil is used in South Indian cuisines like dosa, upma, uttapam, appe to name a few. So if you making north Indian dishes you can use olive oil for better taste.😊

After the oil is hot, always keep the heat at a medium so that it doesn't just burn the dish but also cooks it well.

[@Sidhhaa]

Looks awesm but it needs little more flour. The color is so good and made me mouth watering. You can sieve nuts like cashew and add to this for better taste and butter can be added to the batter a little bit to make it crispy Instead that halwa you can try almond halwa 41:51 , cashew kathli, halwa made out of white pumpkin

[@pradipchandra6161]

Hi it's awesome to see u cook Indian dishes ..which is tough for beginners to cook...but don't drink tea dat much...only a cup once or twice a day

[@JeevanKumar-bs5cv]

Those nuts are pumkin seeds or watermelon seeds. Normally we throw it away when we directly eat those two fruit/vegetables. But if you collect them, roast it and peel the skin of those seeds it looks like that. Pumkin seeds are greenish outside after peeling, were as watermelon seeds look white. It has many healthy nutrients and also delicious in taste. Good timepass thing too. Many Indian deserts use them as well.

[@shrayadutta778]

You did really well....But try it to fry in soyabean or sunflower oil...It will taste way much better...And next time try adding 1 teaspoon garlic paste and garam masala powder to it

[@alfonsoandjessica]

Thanks for the tips! Alot of people are mentioning Soyabean oil, I've never heard of that.. I'll look now!

[@puja.sharma19]

Hi...loved your video...those seeds in the dessert are musk melon seeds..very healthy and we I dians often use these seeds in most of our desserts...

[@alfonsoandjessica]

thank you!

[@jashanbhatia]

In india, due to different climatic conditions, we cook food in different types of oils as per the region and nature of oil. For example , south india has mainly summery kind of weather so coconut oil is used in most of the dishes as coconut is cold in nature and this also gives the dishes an authentic taste. If you put any other oil, it makes a huge difference in taste.. similarly, north indian dishes are mainly cooked in either ghee or mustard oil (hot in nature), a few in vegetable oil as well depending upon the weather. Also, in middle india, we use groundnut oil for cooking. So you see, cooking oil used depends upon various factors and thats how same dishes can taste so differently just by changing the oil.

[@pradeepgupta9355]

Jessica : A suggestion !!! Try making pakoras from each vegetable separately to enjoy flavour of each vegetables ..... You could try making --- Potato Wedges, Roundels or Strips, Cauliflower Rosettes, Cabbage Strips, Onion Roundels or rings, Slivered Chilies or any other vegetable like Brinjal roundels or strips in Pakora Form. Please do sprinkle a little 'Chat Masala', you bought as it adds an additional punch. Am sure you would enjoy the fun and charm of tasting a diversity of pakoras on a platter.... fun to serve at parties as well....

Cilantro and coriander leaves are the same. When you use chilli powder go for Kashmiri chilli, it gives more color and is less spicey.

[@parvathivaidyanathan6195]

Ratio for pakoda batter… 2 cups besan to 1 cup rice flour. Your texture of batter is perfect. For your question how to use cauliflower… cut into florets and dip in batter. Cauliflower pakoda comes out very well. Has a good crunch.

[@alfonsoandjessica]

Ok thank you for the recommendation :)

[@iris8080]

Very good first attempt to cook the Pakora’s. Kudos to you. • You can use potato with its skin • Use vegetable oil to fry pakora’s. Coconut oil is used mostly in South Indian cooking • You can separately make potato pakora, cabbage pakora, onion pakora, green chilli pakora, paneer pakora, cauliflower etc. • To make pakora crispy there are couple of ways - you may use little bit of rice flour and/or semolina • Go easy with green chili as you might not know the heat level of the chili. Seeds are kept with the skin • For a family of 3-4, a small batch of batter is sufficient • Carom is the English name for Aijwan seeds • All these spices have therapeutic / medicinal qualities • Best is to fist add veggies with spices and gram flour. Veggies when rubbed with the flour will ooze out their own water and moisture • Some recipes call for less flour. Just sprinkle veggies with flour and rub them and then fry in hot oil until crispy • Use one hand to put the veggie batter mixture in the oil • Design of pakora is in your hand. You could be innovative • One can enjoy pakora’s with various chutney. Most common ones are green, tamarind • People sprinkle chat masala on top of pakora’s for extra flavour. • You may make a pakora sandwich, by taking 2 bread slices and stuff it with pakora’s and grill it/cook it on both sides • We eat pakora’s with plain roti as well

[@gravityend]
