Mixed vegetable pakoras with chutney
Indian 20 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- Prepare the mixed vegetables (broccolini, aubergine, courgettes, beans, spring onions) by peeling and cutting them into similar sizes so they take the same amount of time to cook. Set aside.
- To make the sweet chutney, mix the apple purée, 1 tsp of coriander, cumin, black salt, chilli powder, juice of 1 lime and 4 tbsp of water together. Set aside.
- To make the green chutney, place a handful of coriander and fresh mint, ginger, chilli, peanuts and fennel seeds in a food processor and pulse until roughly combined.
- To prepare the batter, chop a small handful of coriander and place it in a bowl. Add in the flour, garam masala and salt. Mix together. Slowly stir 4 tbsp of iced water to form a batter the consistency of cream – add more or less water, if necessary. Whisk the batter until foamy at the edges.
- Heat the oil to 175°C in a pot or deep fryer.
- Dip the vegetables into the batter one at a time, then drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve the pakoras warm with the chutneys.
