Good Evening Friends..... Methi Pakoda Recipe Ingredients 1-1/2 cups besan (bengal gram flour) 1 cup methi leaves, finely chopped 2 green chilies, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper 1/2 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds 1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida (hing) 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional) Salt to taste Oil for deep frying Instructions Rinse and then chop the methi leaves finely. Take a big bowl and mix in 1-1/2 cups besan (bengal gram flour), 1 cup methi leaves, 2 finely chopped green chilies, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds, 1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida (hing), 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon oil and salt to taste. Mix all the ingredients very well and gradually add little water to make a thick pakora batter. Keep this batter covered aside for 15-20 minutes. Heat good amount of oil in a frying pan and check the pakora batter. The batter should be smooth with a flowing consistency. If the batter seems too thick, then add few tablespoons of water in it and mix very well. Now when the oil is heated properly, lower the flame, make small balls/pakoras from the prepared batter and drop few at a time in hot oil. You can use the spoon for dropping the pakoras in hot oil. As soon as you drop the spoonful of batter in the oil, the pakoras will start puffing up, expand a bit and will become brown. Fry the methi pakoras on medium high flame with continuous stirring, till they turn golden and crisp from all over. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Fry rest of the pakoras in similar way and serve them with Green Chutney and Tomato Ketchup.
