  • Curry leaves- Few

  • Cooking oil- Enough to deep fry

Instructions

Method

  • Take a cup of millet and grind it to fine flour using mixer grinder.
  • Sieve it so that you obtain evenly powdered flour. Next add rava and maida to it. Give a quick mix.
  • Peel off the onions and slice them thinly. Chop green chillies, curry leaves and coriander leaves finely. Next add all the chopped ingredients to the flour along with salt and ginger. Adding water in steps, make a stiff dough.
  • You can taste and adjust the salt and spice at this stage. Next heat oil in a wok and drop pinch of dough in to oil. Deep fry in medium flame till they turn brown.
  • When the bubbles reduce, remove the millet pakoda from oil using a slotted ladle. Let them drain off excess oil on a tissue paper.
  • Very crispy millet pakoda is ready to serve as evening snack.

Notes

  • Since millet flour doesn't have gluten, adding maida and rava helps it to hold shape.
  • You can add the greens like dill leaves to enrich the taste of pakoda.
  • While making pakoda dough add only required amount of water. Otherwise the dough turns loose and pakoda becomes soggy.
