Step 1

Method of Making Air-Fryer Pakora:

Step 2

Mix besan with rice flour in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In another bowl, take all the veggies and add spices and salt. Set aside for five minutes to allow vegetables to lose some water.

Step 4

Now add 2 tbsp of Mazola Corn oil and mix well. Add besan-rice flour mixture and give a good mix. Set aside for a few minutes.

Step 5

After 5-6 minutes, mix the batter/dough again and add a tbsp of water at a time or more as needed to make a batter of dough-like consistency. Remember that the consistency of the batter should be thick, not liquidy.

Step 6

Preheat the air fryer at 355F for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Now line the air fryer tray with an aluminum foil and grease it with cooking oil spray.

Step 8

Take a small spoon and scoop out an equal amount of mixture onto it.

Step 9

Air fry at 355F for 12 minutes while turning the pakoras halfway between cooking and then air fry again for 4 minutes at 325 F. Depending on the air fryer, pakoras may take 10-20 minutes to cook through and crispy. Once the pakoras are evenly brown and crispy, they are done.

Step 10

Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

Step 11

Preheat the instant pot CrispLid at 355F for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Line the basket with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 13

Add pakora dough balls onto the greased CrispLid Basket, and set the temperature for 6 minutes at 355F. After 6 minutes, turn them and cook for another 6 minutes or until desired crispness.

Step 14

Serve hot with chutney.

Step 15

Preheat the oven at 350F for 5-6 minutes.

Step 16

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it well.

Step 17

Use a tablespoon to make pakora dough balls and flatten them on the baking sheet.

Step 18

Bake for 8-10 minutes and turn and then bake again for another 4-5 minutes till the edges are brown.

Step 19

Some ovens may take long for making the pakoras super crispy. Keep an eye on them after 8 minutes to see if any signs of overcooking.

Step 20

Once baked, allow them to cool down a bit before serving. Usually, the baked version becomes crispier a few minutes after the baking.

Step 21

Serve hot with chutney.
