    can you air fry pakora?

    We tried to make pakode in air-fryer many times until we cracked this perfect recipe. Earlier the batter would stick to the grill. Sometimes it felt a bit raw. At times it was a little soft. What is a pakora without the crunch, right? We finally had an idea, to use muffin liners instead of putting the batter on the basket grill on parchment paper. Scroll over the instructions below to make the perfect crispy onion pakoda and you will never be disappointed.

    Equipment

    • Air fryer
    • oil spray
    • perforated paper liners / muffin liners. You can cut a parchment paper as per your air fryer basket and make holes in that to allow the air to pass through or use the liners used for bamboo steamers.

    Ingredients

    • Mix veggies(cabbage,Carrots,green onion)
    • Red lentil flour or chickpea flour (Besan)
    • Green chilli
    • Turmeric powder
    • Red chili powder
    • Mint/coriander leaves
    • Baking soda
    • Salt as per taste
    • Water to make thick batter
    • Oil for frying

    How to make mix veg pakora in air fryer ?

    1. Finely chop the veggies (carrots,cabbage),add little salt,keep it aside for 15 minutes.
