Notes
Use as little water as possible. You do not want to create a wet batter.
Deep Frying: Everything up until cooking is the same between the air fryer version of this pakora and the deep-fried version. To deep-fry pakora, heat the oil to a hot temperature – about 375°F. Test by dropping a little batter in. It should rise right away. Drop the pakora in the hot oil using a fork or your fingers. Fry until they are golden brown.
