How I Make these Pakoras

I start by thinly slicing onions, brinjal, tomatoes, green chilies, and potatoes.

Then, I mix them with cumin seeds, coriander seeds, chopped green coriander, chili powder, chili flakes, salt, turmeric, and a blend of spices.

After dipping the vegetables in a chickpea flour batter, I fry them until golden brown and crispy.

These vegetable pakoras are not only tasty but also a great way to add some vegetables to my meal.

The ingredients used in vegetable pakoras offer a range of health benefits;

Onions are rich in antioxidants, promoting heart health and immunity.

Brinjal is low in calories and high in fiber, aiding digestion and weight management.

Tomatoes are packed with vitamins and potassium, supporting heart health and skin.

Green chilies boost metabolism and digestion with vitamin C and antioxidants.

Potatoes offer vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber, aiding digestion and immunity.

Cumin seeds aid digestion and reduce inflammation. Coriander seeds lower blood sugar and inflammation.

Chili powder boosts metabolism, while chili flakes aid digestion and reduce inflammation.

Salt maintains electrolyte balance, and turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, benefiting digestion, heart health, and immunity.

These ingredients not only enhance the flavor of your vegetable pakoras but also offer a range of health benefits, ensuring a tasty and nutritious addition to your Iftar meal.
