  • 1 green chili (finely chopped, optional)
  • ½ cup chickpea flour (besan)

✅ Step 2: Fry the Pakoras

  1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.
  3. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 4–5 minutes).

📌 Tips for Perfect Pakoras

  • For a healthier version, air fry or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.
