Looking for something unique, something that you have not tried earlier as appetizers / tea time snack? Then get hold of some pasta (I used Bow tie pasta) and dish out these yummy and crispy pakoras. It takes very less time and can be dished out in a jiffy. So treat your loved ones to these amazing batter fried small bites with some tomato sauce or green chutney.
- 1 cup pasta
- 2 green cardamoms
- 4 cloves
- 1" cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 star anise
- 1/2 cup besan (gram flour)
- 2 tbsp. rice flour
- pinch of baking soda
- salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp. garam masala powder
- 1 tsp. kasuri methi, crushed
- oil to deep fry
Boil the pasta in sufficient water along with cardamoms, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves and star anise. Drain and keep aside.
Make a batter with besan, rice flour, all the dry spices and required quantity of water. The consistency should be neither too runny or thick.
Heat oil in a pan. Dip the boiled pasta in the batter and drop them gently in the hot oil in batches.
Fry on a medium flame till golden in colour. Drain on a tissue paper and serve as an appetizer with tomato sauce or green chutney. They can also be relished as a tea time snack.
