CRISPY VEGETABLE PAKORAS
These are very yummy, and if any of you have ever had Japanese tempura coated veggies, you'll love this recipe. It's similar, yet it is unique in it's taste. Serve with a chili sauce, mint yogurt sauce, or sweet and sour sauce. Try other vegetables for dipping, such as sweet potatoes, broccoli and asparagus.

PUNJABI PAKORAS
Pakoras are a quick and simple treat that will delight the tastebuds and your guests alike! You won't often find them on a menu or anywhere outside the Indian home. The onion bhaji is probably the closest thing many people will have tried to the pakora. My mum would make them on a weekend to have with mid-morning or afternoon tea, yum!

Steps:
- Place the ingredients in the first part of the list into a bowl. You may want to sieve the flour. You can use ground coriander but I used seeds then crush them in a pestle and mortar. This takes about 5 mins but is totally worth the effort.
- Add cold water to the the bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands until you have a batter that resembles the consistency of a thick milkshake. I stick the bowl under a low running tap and gradually build up the batter.
- Next add the ingredients in the second part of the list to the bowl and mix together well. Leave these to rest while you heat up the oil.
- Keep the heat at a medium heat and test it's ready with a little drop of the batter. It should immediately start cooking if the oil is at the right temperature.
- With a tablespoon, take a serving of the batter and vegetables and drop into the hot oil. It should hold together and start bubbling away. Continue to drop more servings into the oil until it gets crowded.
- After a minute, start to turn over the pakoras loosely in the order you dropped them in. After about 5 mins they should be golden brown on both sides. Take one out to test. They should be cooked throughout and not gooey inside once ready.
- Placing them onto some kitchen paper when ready helps removes excess oil. They'll stay hot for quite a while so you can cook the entire batch before serving.
- Serve on their own or with tamarind sauce. Perfect with a cup of tea! Delicious when cold too.

- Prepare the kadai sauce:.
- Blend yogurt, 4 cups water, pinch of turmeric powder, salt, pinch of red chilli powder, and besan. It should look like a buttermilk lassi mixture with besan in it.
- Keep it aside for half an hour before starting to make kadi.
- For the Remainder of the Kadai:
- Pour mustard oil in a big pan (or wok) and heat it until it gets hot. Add cumin seeds mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, coriander seeds, cloves and let them pop.
- Add curry leaves and dry red chilli to the frying mixture.
- Add onions and fry until golden brown.
- Add the garlic, and ginger to it and fry for 3 minutes, watching that it should not stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Add chopped tomatoes and fry for 3-4 minutes.
- Add tamarind paste to the pan and let it come to the boil for 4-5 minutes.
- Add turmeric powder , garam masala, red chilli powder, salt and fry until oil starts floating on the top and it gives out dark reddish brownish color.
- Add the kadi sauce mixture.
- Gently stir the curry, as it will start sticking to the bottom. Keep it on medium heat first, and let it come to a boil. Keep watching it and stirring. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, then lower the heat and let it cook on low flame for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir for another 5 minutes and check if its thick enough and looks dark yellow. Again stir it for 5 minutes and sprinkle dry fenugreek leaves on it and let it boil for another 2 minutes and than add the pakoras in the kadi.
- Boil more for 3 minutes and don't stir too much as the pakora can break apart.
- For garnishing, sprinkle cilantro and serve hot with rice.

PAKORA FOR PUNJABI KADHI
I usually make a whole bunch of these pakoras to freeze and use as my emergency food for company. They are perfect with Punjabi kadi, a creamy Indian gravy that is served with these pakoras. You can also serve them as a starter with coriander chutney.
