BAKED PAKODA


Baked Pakoda Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com


This Baked Pakoda  is one of the most mouth watering and delicious Indian snacks normally deep fried in oil until crispy.

 Made of besan (chickpeas flour) which is rich in protein, carbohydrates but gluten free. It is more flavorful thickener than wheat flour. The same flour is used to make bonda, pakora, papadum, bhaji and many more in Indian cooking.

 I too love to eat this but hesitant since it is fried. So tried the baked version,  Baked  Pakoda  turns out amazing minus the oil, we enjoyed having it with a cup of tea.

BAKED PAKODA RECIPE

1/2 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup besan (gram flour)
2 tablespoons rice flour
1 onion chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
2 tablespoons coriander leaves
salt to taste
water
oil to grease the pan

    Thanks everyone for your sweet comment...

    Priya Mitharwal...do try this it's healthy and delicious no difference with the fried one. You could use 190 C but do watch them since it is easily browned, let me know after you have tried it....

    These look amazing! We love Indian food, but somehow whenever I try to cook it on my own, it never turns out right. I love that you found a way to bake these instead of frying them--I bet they'd be really good with mango chutney. :)

    I'm stopping by from Say Hi Sunday!
