Pakora
Heat Rating: Mild
Makes 12-15
Ingredients
One cup of Mama Dor’s Pakora blend
Your choice of 300g of cooked chicken/turkey OR white fish (cut into bite size chunks) OR raw prawns
1 tablespoon natural Greek yoghurt
150ml tap water
Oil for shallow frying (coconut oil is best, but vegetable oil works fine too)
Method
Create a thick pancake-like batter by beating the bhaji blend, yoghurt and water in a mixing bowl. (Tip: add the water a little at a time to get the right consistency).
Leave the batter to sit for 10 minutes.
Add your filling of choice and mix well.
Heat oil in a shallow fryer and when hot, add small dollops of the pakora mix into the oil, making sure each dollop contains the filling. Don’t worry about the shape!
Fry gently (make sure your oil isn’t too hot) on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with cooling raita or hot chilli sauce.
Alternative Uses
If you prefer a vegan pakora, use any raw vegetable of your choice. Thinly sliced potatoes, courgettes, aubergines, sweet potatoes, broccoli and mushrooms work particularly well.
