makki ke pakore |
Makki ke pakore was made in my kitchen by chance. When I was
in a condition of slight sleep deprivation, my hubby asked for pakoras. Instead
of taking besan, I took makki atta and added salt and spices to it. Then I suddenly
realized, it was not besan but cornmeal. I decided to go ahead and made pakoras
or bhajiyas from it. It was a hit and my hubby asked me to make them again.
Recipe of makki ke pakore/ bhajia
1 cup makki atta (cornmeal/maize flour/makai ka atta)
1 onion- finely chopped
1 tomato- finely chopped
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
Oil to deep fry
1. Take makki ka atta in a bowl and add all the above
ingredients to it except oil. Mix.
2. Add water to make a batter of pakora (fritters) batter
like consistency. Beat well.
3. Heat oil in a kadhai/wok. Drop small portions of the
batter in the oil and deep fry till golden. Fry the pakoras in batches. Drain
makki ke pakore on an absorbent paper and serve hot with tomato sauce or
chutney.
