Herb pakoras
Vata –, Pitta +, Kapha + Ingredients for 4 people
- 50 g fine spelt flour
- 50 g chickpea flour
- ½ courgette
- 50 g fresh herbs (coriander and parsley)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp Vata Churna
- a pinch of chilli powder
- 80 ml cold mineral water
- rapeseed oil for deep-frying
Preparation
Finely chop the herbs and coarsely grate the courgette.
Mix all the ingredients together to form a batter and leave to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Heat the rapeseed oil in a small saucepan.
Using two spoons, place small pieces of batter into the hot oil and fry until the pakoras are golden brown.
Drain on a piece of kitchen roll and keep warm.
Pakoras are Pitta-increasing, but fresh coriander counterbalances this.
