How to make Pan Fried Broccoli Pakora Recipe
To begin making the Pan Fried Broccoli Pakora Recipe, combine all the ingredients together in a bowl including broccoli, onion, gram flour, fennel seeds, chaat masala powder and salt.
Add water little at a time, to make a thick pakora batter. Check the salt, spices and adjust to suit your taste.
Preheat the Kuzhi Paniyaram Pan on medium heat; add a few drops of oil into each cavity. Spoon the Broccoli Pakora batter into the cavity and pan-fry them until it is browned and crisp on both sides. Each side will take about 3 to 4 minutes on low heat.
Once done transfer the Broccoli Pakoras onto a plate with an oil absorbent paper, so that it soaks up the excess oil from the Pakoras.
Proceed the same way with the remaining Broccoli Pakora Batter.
Arrange the Broccoli Pakoras on a serving platter, sprinkle some chaat masala, place some pickled onions by the side and serve it as a snack or as an appetizer for parties.
