Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras are simple vegetable pakoras, prepared with leftover adai/lentil dosa batter!
Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras
The name says it all. Pakoras prepared with left over Adai batter with veggies. :-) I know I have a few pakora recipes in my blog already like idli batter pakoras or punugulu, Patnam pakodi and zucchini pakodas. So now I am including one more that lot – Adai batter pakoras.
Chaat Recipes from India
My goal for this marathon was to try and post chaat recipes from all over India. And I know one marathon is not enough for that but I am trying to post the popular ones. I have only few snack and appetizer recipe from South India like punugulu, pakoras, masala pori, peanut sundal, pattani sundal. I know I missing a lot here but at least something is better than nothing. So the next few recipes are going to be the South Indian Special appetizers/chaats/snacks.
I wanted to post mixed vegetable pakora but I didn’t plan with adai batter at all. During Vinayakar Chaturthi, when I was going through my archives, I saw the adai batter vadai post. I had some left over Adai batter too and suddenly I though why not try pakoras with this batter? Viola tried it right away and we all enjoyed it to the core and here I am sharing with you all! :-)
Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras Recipe
Ingredients:
- Left over adai batter – 2 cups
- Salt – 1 tsp
- Baking Soda – ½ tsp
- Carrot – 1
- Chopped Onion – ½ cup
- Chopped Cabbage – ¼ cup
- Green Chilly – 1
- Chopped Cilantro – 1 tbsp + some for garnish
- Oil for frying
Prep – Work:
- You can find the adai recipe here. I used two cups of the batter. The batter I used had coconut and curry leaves already added.
- Chop the onion, cabbage and green chilly.
- Peel the carrot skin and grate the carrot.
Steps:
- Heat the oil for frying in a deep wide pan.
- Meanwhile mix the veggies with the adai batter.
- Add salt, baking soda and chopped green chilly and cilantro too.
- Mix well and that’s it the batter is now ready.
- Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium low.
- Now take small portion of the batter and slowly drop it in oil. In one batch I tried up to 4 small Pakoras.
- Let them fry till they turn golden brown or until the oil bubble sound ceases.
- Take them out and let it sit in the tissue paper to remove the excess oil.
- Repeat the same with the remaining batter.
That’s it. Yummy Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras are ready. Enjoy them with hot chai!
Notes:
- Adjust the salt and spice according to your preference.
- Make sure the oil is medium heat before frying. This ensures soft, crispy and well-cooked pakoras.
- Do not let the batter sit for a long time. Fry the pakoras right away as the veggies might ooze out lot of water.
- Also if you feel the batter is soggy, add more rice flour or chick pea flour. In that case adjust the salt and spice.
- Adjust the veggies as per your preference.
