Ingredients
  • 1 cup mixed sprouts (moong, chana, moth) lightly steamed
  • 1/2 cup besan (gram flour)

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped onion optional

Method
 

  1. Add the steamed sprouts, besan, rice flour, onions, ginger-garlic paste, and all spices to a mixing bowl.

  5. Fry until the pakoras turn golden and crisp, flipping occasionally.
  6. Remove and place on a tissue. Serve hot with green chutney.
