Thanks for this great recipe!

this is really yummy...keep it up and give us more delicious recipies like this..:)

these were pretty good -- could've used more spice, i thought. i'm going to play with different vegetables next time; i tried cauliflower, onion, and broccoli, the last of which i didn't much care for. i found the batter stuck to the veggies really well.

I made these with cauliflower, potato (diced small) and onion (also diced). They were good but definitely could have used more spice. I'll be making them again. Thanks, Karla!

Delicious! I was happy to find this recipe after enjoying deep -fried yams with an Indian restaurant meal. I doubled the spices (not the salt), used broccoli and cauliflower because that's what I had on hand, and these were excellent. Easy, too! Thanks for a great recipe!

I thought that the batter did not hold on to the cauliflower very well, but the flavor was good.

Yum! I took another user's advice and diced the vegetables and just mixed them with the batter. I fried them in about 1/2 inch of oil to prevent them from falling apart. The vegetables I used were spinach, potato, carrot, cauliflower, and onion. Thanks so much for sharing!

Tastes authentic, like the Pakora my mom makes. I add 35% more spice. Favorites are sweet potato and califlower.

Love this recipe... I'm a midwesterner who married an Indian, so I'm always looking for recipes that make him call me his "Indian wife"-- this is one! For our tastes, I double all the spices in the batter-- make the trip to the indian market, it's worth it. I use whatever veg I have on hand (try carrots, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms), dice them small, and add the whole lot to the batter and stir. Then drop by tablespoons into the hot oil. Don't worry, they will form together into patties when they cook (or if they fall apart a little, they're so tasty no one will mind!), cook until they seem just a little overdone to make them good and crispy. They're not bad the second day, if they last, just a bit soggy. Reheat in the oven.

Good stuff! I'll add a bit more of the spices next time and try other veggies as well. I used a bit of garlic powder instead of cloves, as previously suggested. I was concerned about the consistency of the "batter", so I added more water (1/2 cup?) to make it more batter-y and it worked great. Now that I see the suggestion that pakoras are supposed to be little clumps of veggies instead of individual fritter-type things, I see where the thicker batter makes sense. I think I'll still do it my way though :)

Good. I did add an egg to the batter and felt that was a better coating consistency. I also used garlic powder instead and paprika instead of red chili powder.

Try mushroom pakoras!! Mmm Eggplant, parboiled fresh greenbeans too. Sprinkle with a little bit of Chaat Masala, Heaven.

This recipe was quite tasty and authentic. I've made it twice now with only a few minor adjustments: 1 tsp chili powder for a bit more spice, 1 tsp garlic powder instead of cloves, and a handful of freshly chopped coriander. If you like it really spicy, you can also add a green chili or two. For the first round, I used slightly less cauliflower and added 1 large potato (cubed) to the mix. For the second round, I used potato & brocoli. Both variations tasted great! I mixed everything together in the batter and then dropped spoonfuls of mixture into the oil. (Note: Pakora is usually a small cluster of fried veggies, but if they don't stick together, don't worry. It doesn't affect the taste at all!) My cook time was about 10-15 minutes per batch, but I don't use a deep-fryer, so perhaps the deep-fryer is a bit quicker. For a more traditional dipping sauce, try a mint chutney, but if you prefer to keep it simple, ranch dressing & ketchup work great too! These tasty little treats WILL disappear quickly, so doubling the recipe is a good idea! I made a single batch this evening, and hubby & I polished off the entire plate! Makes a great appetizer or snack food, and once you get the hang of it, you can whip this up in no time at all!

This is one of those messy recipes. I cooked it in a deep fryer outside in the summer to eliminate the odor inside the house. It was very delicious though. I also used eggplant and broccoli. Definitely a keeper.

This was a very simple, tasty pakora recipe. I would have suggested a little more spices, and especially salt. I made it with sliced potatoes and it was good. Make sure you get the oil very hot and cook each side for a good 2-3 minutes or the vegetables will not cook thouroughly.

These are very good, and my husband said they tasted alot like what he had in India. I look forward to trying this with other veggies. Any suggestions how I can use the chickpea flour other than in this recipe?
