Food Tip |
Blend flours, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and spices.
Gradually whisk in water and lemon juice to make a smooth batter the
consistency of heavy cream. Set aside.
Heat about 3" oil in a large skillet or deep fryer.
Dip vegetables in batter to coat. Immerse in hot oil, turning to cook
evenly, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted
spoon and drain on absorbent paper.
Cover and place in a warm oven while cooking remaining pakoras.
