CURRY LEAVES PAKODE

Recently I made curry leaves bhajia using big curry leaves which was lying in the fridge.  Since curry leaves are good for health having medicinal values and properties, I tried this and was quite tasty with the flavour of the leaves.

Normally, we temper the curry leaves and  everyone throw the  same while consuming the dish.  In order to get the maximum benefit of the leaves, I always try to incorporate the same in a paste form so that it is not wasted by throwing it away.

When I made the bhajia, I thought of making the pakode and was hit at home.  My children did not even hesitate to finish it off.

Now let us look at the recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 cup curry leaves finely chopped
1/4 cup onion finely chopped
1/4 cup chick pea flour
2 tsp rice flour
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/4 tsp ajwain
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
salt as required
1 tbsp crushed peanut (optional)
oil for deep frying.

Method:

In a mixing bowl,  mix everything except oil.  Add water little by little to form a thick batter like we make for onion pakode.

heat oil in kadai.  pinch out the batter and put in the oil.  fry them till golden brown and serve hot with any chutney or sauce.
