I learnt this recipe from a T.V show. I winced,on hearing the name of this dish. I have prepared curry,sambar,paratha with radish. But could never imagine radish in a crispy,deep fried snack. When I followed the recipe to the T,it turned out flavorsome.
INGREDIENTS
RADISH- 200 GRAMS
ONION- 2 NOS ( MEDIUM SIZED)
GRAM FLOUR- 1 CUP
RICE FLOUR- 1/2 CUP
RED CHILLI POWDER- 1 TSP
GARAM MASALA POWDER- 1/2 TSP
GINGER GARLIC PASTE- 1 TSP
CUMIN SEEDS- 1 TSP
ASAFOETIDA- 1/4 TSP
SALT TO TASTE
CORIANDER LEAVES CHOPPED
CURRY LEAVES- 1 SPRIG
METHOD
Wash ,peel and grate radish. Squeeze out the water from the gratings thoroughly. Else,the pakodas will turn soggy.
Now transfer the gratings to a wide bowl. Add the flours and all the other ingredients.
Moisture content in the onions and radish is enough for binding.If required,sprinkle water and mix it.
Heat oil in a pan . When it is hot enough,gently pinch out small portion from the batter and drop it gently in the hot oil.
Fry the pakodas and both the sides till it turns golden brown in colour.
NOTE- Mixing batter and heating oil should be done simultaneously. When you allow the batter to rest for longer time,you will miss out on the crispy,crunch texture.
