Mint Pakoda

Mint Pakodas

It was one of those days when I got the best mint bunches from the market. We generally do not get good mint bunches. I had made mint chutney and had kept the remaining stuff and was not sure what to make....I could not resist from making them. It is so easy and simple to make...takes less than half an hour to make it from the scratch.

Ingredients:

1 Cup - Besan Flour
1/2 Cup - Rice Flour
2 Tsp - Ghee
1/2 Tsp Red Chillies
3/4 Tsp Salt
2 Mint  Bunches
1 Green Chilly
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
Chopped Cashew
Oil for frying

Recipe ............

Wash the mint and chop it well.
Mix the besan and rice flour together.
Add salt, red chilly powder, baking soda, cashew, chopped green chilly and mint.
Add the ghee and mix the flour well.
Important point while making any pakodas is to mix it in batches. Do not mix the entire quantity.
Heat the oil.
Take one portion of the dough and sprinkle little water and mix the dough.
Take the dough and press them in your finger tips (they need not have proper shape) and drop it in the oil.
Fry it until they are brown and crisy.
Serve it with ketchup or chutney of your choice!
