Preparation

I used three different beans/lentils, but you can also choose 1 type.

Soak them in water for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Place the soaked beans/lentils in a blender, add green pepper, ginger, cumin seeds, asafoetida and salt. Puree until a nice smooth mass.

​

Place this mixture in a bowl and add finely chopped onions and coriander.

I had set aside some soaked lentils and added them to the mixture. That gives more bite to the pakoras.

Heat a large base of oil in a wok/pan. Roll balls and fry them in the oil until light brown.

Delicious with peanut chutney or coriander/mint chutney (Raita)
