Use cold water for batter

Use cold water instead of normal water when making the gram flour batter for pakoras, this will keep the pakoras crunchy for a long time.

Add rice flour or corn flour

Don't overmix the batter

If you want crispy and crunchy pakoras, keep the gram flour batter after mixing it well once. Do not mix it again and again, it removes the softness of the flour.

Check the right consistency

To make crispy pakoras, the consistency of the batter should be right. If it is too thin, the pakoras will not turn out right, and pakoras will not turn out well in thick batter.

Use baking soda

When you are making gram flour pakoras, add a pinch of baking soda to it. This will make the pakoras crispy and tasty.

Dry the vegetables

If you are making pakoras with potatoes, spinach, etc., then after washing them thoroughly, dry them well and then add them to the batter.

Fry twice for extra crisp

Fry the pakoras only 80% if you have made them. After this, put it on a tissue. Frying for 2-3 minutes on high flame will keep the pakoras crunchy for a long time.
