Methi Pakoras

Ingredients

1 bunch of Methi leaves.
1 small bunch of Cilantro leaves
3 to 4 Chillies minced
1 tablespoon Red Chilli powder
1/4 tablespoon Haldi powder
1 cup Wheat Flour
1-1/2 cup Besan
1/4 tablespoon Cooking Soda
2-3 tablespoons of Curd .(you can add more if you want)
1/2 tablespoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt to taste

Method:


Wash and clean the methi leaves and cilantro leaves and chop them.
In a bowl add cut leaves and all the above ingredients except the soda and make a batter. See to it that the batter should be the one like you make vadas , it should not be thin otherwise you won't be able to fry the pakoras. You can add a little water to make it thin. But not very thin remember.
You can add 1-1/2 tablespoon of oil in the batter and mix the soda and stir it very well.
Put oil in a kadai and make small balls with hand just the way you fry any pakoras and fry it till crispy brown.
Serve hot with cilantro chutney. Enjoy.
