These were amazing. I grated carrots and zucchini, chopped onion, red pepper and parsnip. I mixed it with the flour and water batter and droped by spoonsful into the hot oil. The seasonsings in the recipe were delicious - didn't change anything. Great flavour, easy to make, definitely a keeper! Thanks veggigoddess.

This is a great recipe! I have made this twice now,I altered the recipe slightly by using a little less water, and it was warm water, also, for chicken pakora, i added a little tomato puree for a red colour for the batter, and i didn't have the oil as hot, adults and kids couldn't get enough!!

I think it needs baking powder. I would also double the spices and season the veggies before battering.

This was delicious, even my picky three year-old loved it (I pureed hers before frying it)! My suggestion is to use quality spices, I used Penzey spices and everything turned out amazing, full of flavor.

I made paneer (recipe from this site) and used this batter to make paneer pakora. AMAZING! Just like my favorite Indian restaurant!

Amazing! Just like at Star India! I took some others' advice and diced all the veggies, smothered in batter, and dropped by the spoonful. I fried them until extra crispy and served them with ranch and ketchup so my picky eaters would try them. Gobbled them up! My 2 year old loved them even! Now I just need the yogurt sauce and mint sauce recipes... ;-)

these were pretty good -- could've used more spice, i thought. i'm going to play with different vegetables next time; i tried cauliflower, onion, and broccoli, the last of which i didn't much care for. i found the batter stuck to the veggies really well.

I made these with cauliflower, potato (diced small) and onion (also diced). They were good but definitely could have used more spice. I'll be making them again. Thanks, Karla!

Delicious! I was happy to find this recipe after enjoying deep -fried yams with an Indian restaurant meal. I doubled the spices (not the salt), used broccoli and cauliflower because that's what I had on hand, and these were excellent. Easy, too! Thanks for a great recipe!

I thought that the batter did not hold on to the cauliflower very well, but the flavor was good.

Yum! I took another user's advice and diced the vegetables and just mixed them with the batter. I fried them in about 1/2 inch of oil to prevent them from falling apart. The vegetables I used were spinach, potato, carrot, cauliflower, and onion. Thanks so much for sharing!

Tastes authentic, like the Pakora my mom makes. I add 35% more spice. Favorites are sweet potato and califlower.

Love this recipe... I'm a midwesterner who married an Indian, so I'm always looking for recipes that make him call me his "Indian wife"-- this is one! For our tastes, I double all the spices in the batter-- make the trip to the indian market, it's worth it. I use whatever veg I have on hand (try carrots, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms), dice them small, and add the whole lot to the batter and stir. Then drop by tablespoons into the hot oil. Don't worry, they will form together into patties when they cook (or if they fall apart a little, they're so tasty no one will mind!), cook until they seem just a little overdone to make them good and crispy. They're not bad the second day, if they last, just a bit soggy. Reheat in the oven.

Good stuff! I'll add a bit more of the spices next time and try other veggies as well. I used a bit of garlic powder instead of cloves, as previously suggested. I was concerned about the consistency of the "batter", so I added more water (1/2 cup?) to make it more batter-y and it worked great. Now that I see the suggestion that pakoras are supposed to be little clumps of veggies instead of individual fritter-type things, I see where the thicker batter makes sense. I think I'll still do it my way though :)

Good. I did add an egg to the batter and felt that was a better coating consistency. I also used garlic powder instead and paprika instead of red chili powder.
