I was not very keen on making a vada and came up with this pakoda recipe. This is just a slight variation to the mixed vegetable pakora that I usually prepare.
Ingredients:
1 lb - Cluster Beans
1 Onion (chopped)
3/4 cup Gram flour (besan)
1 tsp fine rava(Sooji)
2-3 Green chillies
1/2 inch Ginger piece(finely smashed)
1/2tsp - Red chilli powder
Salt to taste
Oil to fry

Method :
Wash and steam cook Cluster Beans.Chop green chillies and finely smash ginger with a morter and pestle, alternatively you can grate ginger. Chop the Cluster Beans into small pieces
Add gram flour and mix with Chopped Cluster Beans, Onion, green chillies, ginger and red chilli powder till the batter is of semi-solid consistency. Add salt to taste.Add water if required since the besan can be mixed in the water retained from the steamed beans itself.
Heat the oil in a deep pan.Now take the batter and drop in small portions into the oil. Cook on medium fire till the pakodas are of light brown color.
