Spicy Tenderstem® broccoli Pakora
Method
-
Heat enough oil to deep-fry the pakoras in a medium saucepan or deep fat fryer.
-
Mix the Tenderstem, potato and onions together in a bowl.
-
In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and spice, and season with salt and pepper.
-
Toss the vegetables in the spiced flour mixture, then pour in the eggs and 100ml cold water. Mix well to form a thick batter that coats but clings to the vegetables, adding a little more water if necessary.
-
Test the oil is hot enough by adding a cube of bread – it’s ready when it turns golden-brown in 15-20 seconds. Once hot enough, begin adding 1 rounded tablespoonful of the vegetable batter at a time, lowering each spoonful into the oil and frying for around 5 minutes until the pakoras are golden brown and the veg is tender. Cook a couple at a time, being careful not to overload the pan. Drain well and leave on kitchen paper for a few minutes. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
-
Meanwhile, mix together the cucumber, yogurt and mint, season and serve with the hot pakoras.
