Herb pakoras

date 2026 August 11

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.
