I have an exciting twist on a beloved Indian snack: Pakoras. But hold on tight because we’re about to take this crispy delight to a whole new level of healthy deliciousness.
Imagine you have a craving for Pakoras, but you want to avoid deep frying. What if I told you there’s a healthier, easier, and equally delicious alternative? Enter Waffle Maker Pakoras!
1 Medium Onion Finely Sliced
200 g Grated Potato
2 Handfuls of Spinach Leaves Roughly Chopped
1 Handful Chopped Coriander
100 g Grated Cauliflower
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Crushed Coriander Seeds
1 tsp Garam Masala
1.50 tsp Fresh Green Chilli
1 tsp Caraway Seeds
2 tsp Kasoori Methi
150 g Chickpea Flour
Splash of Water if needed
- Finely dice you onions, grate your potatoes, chop your spinach, chop your coriander and place into a large bowl.
- Add the following into the mixture: 1 Tsp salt, 2 Tsp crushed coriander seeds, 1 Tsp Garam Masala, 1.5 Tsp fresh green chilli, 1 Tsp Caraway seeds, 2 Tsp Kasoori Methi
Mix and place to one side for 10 minutes. - After 10 minutes add the chickpea flour to the mixture and mix well.
Add a splash of water if needed.
Add 1 tsp Baking powder to the mix along with 1 Tbsp Olive Oil. This will give you lovely, fluffy waffles.
Add more water if needed but you don’t want the mixture to be too runny. - Add to your waffle maker and cook for 6-8 minutes, and hey presto, you have a waffle pakora.
Serving Suggestion - Serve with a mint dip, I love mine with ketchup…..I know, I’m just weird
If that isn’t enough to entice your tastebud, you should try the Spicy Crumpets.
