Ingredients for Kadhi Pakora Recipe Pakistani:

What type of yogurt should be used in making Kadhi Pakora Recipe Pakistani?

We should use sour yogurt for best results. One or two days old sour yogurt is ideal. If you don’t have leave the fresh yogurt in warm place for 2-3 hours and you have the sour yogurt. And even if you don’t have this choice too then go with fresh and increase the cooking time a bit more.

How to make karhi mixture without lumps?

we have to prepare two separate mixtures for karhi pakora recipe. One mixture is for making lassi with gram flour(basen) and yogurts q and other mixture is for making fitters(pakora). For making main lassi mixture tirst mix basen with yogurt and mix throughly without adding water to it. You can use blender for is purpose other wise use Whisk or fork. I prefer fork that make thing less messy. In old days people use to mix with hands and that helps in preparing soft and smooth paste like mixture. When mixing done and no more lumps left add 4 times more water to make this mixture watery so it can cook for longer time. More kadhi cook even tastier it will be.

For making pakoda or pakora mixture made up of gram flour or basen and water. Always start with adding less quantity of water. For example if you are taking 2 cups of basen start with adding half cup of water and mix with spoon then add quarter cup of water and beat and so on untill pouring texture appears. More you mix more air will trap and pakora will be fluffier and soft. Gradual addition of water will help to prevent mixture liquidy all at once.

How to make fitters(pakoras) of kadhi pakora soft from inside?

First of all mixing of pakoda mixture should be proper as I have mention earlier and the second thing is place this mixed basen for atleast 20 min before cooking. This helps in better binding and sattlement then again mix for 2-3 minutes. To be on safer side add baking soda before resting time but after first mixing. But ifvyou don’t want to add baking soda then add yogurt about 1/6th the quantity of basen or gram flour. Try to make pakry of small size.

What should I do if the fitters are too hard for kadhi?

If you feel fitters are too hard from inside then add them in water before adding them to basen curry for 1-2 minutes. Otherwise add pakoda to kadhi directly after removing them from frying oil.

How to fry fitters(pakore) for karhi?

For frying of pakora always take less oil in the woke so that pakore only half of pakora soak in it this helps in rising of pakora. Flame should be medium so that pakore cook not only from outside but from inside too. Half dipped pakore help in removing of air from oneside. Before frying oil should be hot enough otherwise pakora will be too oily and non puffy and hard. To check if the oil is hot enough add very small quantity of mixture to oil if its start bubbling means oil 8s ready to make fitters or soak match stick into oil if it bubbles then add fitter mixture with spoon or hand only about 1 tbsp for one pakora. Cook from one side first then turn to other side.

Can we use vegetables in pakora of kari?

Yes we can make pakora with vegetables like potato, onion, spinach, egg plant, green chillies and lady fingers.
