Wrap Me A Pakora Or Two – Spicy Indian Pakora(Fritter)Wraps

What do rain/ sprinkles or even a cloudy day have in common with pakoras (fried fritters) and tea?

Well, nothing unless you are Indian! If you have Indian friends you may have noticed their FB posts that say … ooh it’s raining, it’s pakora & chai( tea) time. Not sure how this “tradition” ever got started. Do you know?

This is a simple twist on eating pakoras.. be it for a rainy day or sunshine accompanied with a glass of wine.

All you do is follow the pakora recipe, get your favorite wrap(roti/tortilla) of choice, spread some chutney, add the pakoras, fresh onions, lettuce with a dash of chaat Masala and yum!!

Pakora Recipe

• Chop the spinach roughly(not finely).
• Dice chop onions and potatoes into small pieces
• Add chickpea flour, spices and mix well
• Add little water as needed to make a batter
• Heat oil on low to medium heat in a wok
• Use a medium-slotted spoon to drop small amounts of batter in the wok (I use another small spoon to glide it gently into the oil)
• Let them sit on a paper towel to let the excess oil drain

Assembling the Wrap

• Spread some Green Mint/Cilantro Chutney on the tortilla
• Add some freshly chopped onions and lettuce
• Sprinkle some Chaat Masala
• Roll into a wrap and it is ready!!

Notes

*If you do not have these spices, do not worry as they will still taste great…anything fried tastes amazing.LOL 🙂 –

• Do not add too much water to the batter, it should not be runny.

-My mom uses her fingers to drop the batter into the oil, be careful your fingers do not touch the oil.
