Parsnip-dill leaves pakoras/pakodas – Baked
About:
These are healthy snacks served as an appetizer. These are Indian style fritters which are generally made using chickpea flour, crunchy veggies of choice and spices mixed together and dalloped into hot oil-fried to perfection and served with chutney on the side.
If you love pakoras and are watching your weight and health, and you are worried to eat them often just because they are deep fried. Here I tried baked version where you can enjoy them guilt-free. I used grated parsnip and onion for crunchy bites, dill leaves makes the pakoras flavoursome.
Baked pakoras are not only healthy, but also vegan and gluten-free. A perfect snack for your tea time or for parties of get togethers.
Serve this with home made tomato Chilli sauce (Recipe link)
Yields-25-30 pakodas
