Crispy Vegetable Pakoras

1.In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, baking soda, and salt.

2.Add the sliced potato, onion, grated carrot, and chopped green chilies to the bowl.

3.Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until you achieve a thick batter that coats the vegetables well.

4.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

5.Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the vegetable batter into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

6.Fry the pakoras until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

7.Using a slotted spoon, remove the pakoras from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

8.Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
