Hello Foodies,
Nothing beats the garma garam bhajis(Hot Fritters) with piping hot tea. Pakoras are one of my favorites snacks food item, along with french fries. This crispy, golden, battered, and fried mint leaves pakoras are finger food that no one can resist, these easy pakoras are so simple to make. They're similar to classic spinach pakoras. This recipe comes together in just 30 minutes and needs very simple ingredients. The batter is a mixture of chickpea flour (gluten-free and vegan), water and spices. These mint pakoras are full of protein, and vegetables, so even though they seem like more of a side/appetizer/snack, they make for a satisfying meal too!
The recipe I have mentioned below uses the whole mint leaves dipped in chickpea flour batter, but you can make a variation by chopping the mint leaves in small pieces and then adding them in the batter along with onion, finely chopped green chilies. You can also add grated ginger, carrots, cabbage, and other veggies to the batter. This fresh and refreshing herb mint is packed with vitamins and minerals. The smell of fresh mint leaves/pudina is the best thing in a crowded sabzi market, don’t you agree? Mint leaves can energize you, hydrates you and is an excellent digestive. So today, we thought why not explore more Indian recipes using this humble herb which is tasty and crazily healthy. So guys when you buy Mint leaves next time, give this crispy and flavorsome pakoras a try.
