Nothing beats a snack like pakoras on a rainy day, these were our family go-to with a hot cup of chai.<\/p>\n

I improvise and use this\u00a0Pakora Kit<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0base with what\u2019s at hand, some days it is shredded greens, onions, potatoes, or zucchini. And on most days when I need a healthy savory snack, I turn this batter into crepes that\u2019s satisfying and packed with seasonal veggies.<\/p>\n

Serves 4-5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cooking Time: 40-45 Minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong>
\n2-3 cups finely shredded greens
\n\u00bc cup diced onion
\n\u00bd inch jalape\u00f1o, diced (optional)
\n1 garlic clove, minced
\n2 tbsp fresh cilantro or mint
\nsalt to taste<\/p>\n

For the Crepes:
\n<\/strong>
\n\u00bc cup vegetable oil for drizzling
\n2\u00bd \u2013 3 cups water<\/p>\n

Cooking Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In a bowl, combine the greens, onion, jalape\u00f1o (if using), and garlic. Add the flour mix, a
    \npinch of salt, and the recommended amount of water for either pakoras or crepes.
    \nWhisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  2. Tip: For tempura, the batter should be like thick cake batter that you can spoon into the
    \nfrying pan without it separating into the oil.<\/li>\n
  3. For crepes, the batter should be thinner than pancake batter. Start with 2\u00bd cups water
    \nand add more as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For the Tempuras:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In a large, deep skillet, heat 3 cups of vegetable oil for frying, if you have a
      \nthermometer, ensure the temperature reads 375\u00b0F. Test the oil by dropping a pearl of
      \nbatter, if it sizzles and rises to the top immediately, it\u2019s ready.<\/li>\n
    2. Spoon tablespoon-sized dollops of batter into the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium-
      \nhigh. Use a slotted spoon to stir and rotate the pakoras gently. When golden brown on
      \nall sides, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot sprinkled with our Chaat Mela
      \nspice blend (if handy), mint chutney and a cup of chai.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      For the Crepes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Heat an 8-10-inch non-stick skillet over high heat. Once hot, spoon \u00bc cup of batter into
        \nthe skillet; tilt and rotate the pan to spread out the batter. Reduce the heat to medium.
        \nDrizzle the top and sides of the crepe with 1 tsp oil and cook for about 1 minute, until
        \ngolden on the bottom. Flip and cook for another minute. Serve with chutney or your
        \nfavorite sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
