    Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras are simple vegetable pakoras, prepared with leftover adai/lentil dosa batter!

    Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras

    The name says it all. Pakoras prepared with left over Adai batter with veggies. :-) I know I have a few pakora recipes in my blog already like idli batter pakoras or punugulu, Patnam pakodi and zucchini pakodas. So now I am including one more that lot – Adai batter pakoras.

    Chaat Recipes from India

    My goal for this marathon was to try and post chaat recipes from all over India. And I know one marathon is not enough for that but I am trying to post the popular ones. I have only few snack and appetizer recipe from South India like punugulu, pakoras, masala pori, peanut sundal, pattani sundal. I know I missing a lot here but at least something is better than nothing. So the next few recipes are going to be the South Indian Special appetizers/chaats/snacks.

    Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras served hot on a newspaper

    I wanted to post mixed vegetable pakora but I didn’t plan with adai batter at all. During Vinayakar Chaturthi, when I was going through my archives, I saw the adai batter vadai post. I had some left over Adai batter too and suddenly I though why not try pakoras with this batter? Viola tried it right away and we all enjoyed it to the core and here I am sharing with you all! :-)

    Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras Recipe

    Ingredients:

    • Left over adai batter – 2 cups
    • Salt – 1 tsp
    • Baking Soda – ½ tsp
    • Carrot – 1
    • Chopped Onion – ½ cup
    • Chopped Cabbage – ¼ cup
    • Green Chilly – 1
    • Chopped Cilantro – 1 tbsp + some for garnish
    • Oil for frying

    Prep – Work:

    • You can find the adai recipe here. I used two cups of the batter. The batter I used had coconut and curry leaves already added.
    • Chop the onion, cabbage and green chilly.
    • Peel the carrot skin and grate the carrot.

    Steps:

    • Heat the oil for frying in a deep wide pan.
    • Meanwhile mix the veggies with the adai batter.
    • Add salt, baking soda and chopped green chilly and cilantro too.

    Mixing the veggies with the adai batter

    • Mix well and that’s it the batter is now ready.

    Mixing the ingredients well to make the batter

    • Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium low.
    • Now take small portion of the batter and slowly drop it in oil. In one batch I tried up to 4 small Pakoras.
    • Let them fry till they turn golden brown or until the oil bubble sound ceases.
    • Take them out and let it sit in the tissue paper to remove the excess oil.
    • Repeat the same with the remaining batter.

    That’s it. Yummy Adai Batter Vegetable Pakoras are ready. Enjoy them with hot chai!

    Notes:

    • Adjust the salt and spice according to your preference.
    • Make sure the oil is medium heat before frying. This ensures soft, crispy and well-cooked pakoras.
    • Do not let the batter sit for a long time. Fry the pakoras right away as the veggies might ooze out lot of water.
    • Also if you feel the batter is soggy, add more rice flour or chick pea flour. In that case adjust the salt and spice.
    • Adjust the veggies as per your preference.
