Discover this fun fusion of pizza and pakora with our Eggplant Pizza Pakora recipe! This crispy, cheesy snack is perfect for tea-time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp rice flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 eggplant large
- 1 capsicum sliced
- 1/4 cup tomato salsa
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 6 tbsp oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground flour, rice flour, salt, red chili flakes, and mixed herbs. Add water gradually and whisk until you have a smooth, pancake-like batter.
- Thinly slice the eggplant and capsicum into roundels.
- Take one eggplant slice, add a spoonful of onion tomato salsa, place a capsicum slice on top, sprinkle some red chili flakes and herbs, and then add mozzarella cheese. Top it with another eggplant slice to form a sandwich.
- Carefully dip the eggplant "pizza" sandwich into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Shallow fry the eggplant pizza pakoras, cooking evenly on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the cheese inside is melted.
- Slice the pakoras in half and serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the pizza-pakora fusion!
Notes
- Slice the eggplant thinly for better cooking and a crisper texture.
- Ensure the batter is not too thick; you want just enough to coat the pakoras lightly.
- Cook on medium-low heat to make sure the eggplant cooks through without burning the outside.
- Use fresh mozzarella cheese for better melting and flavor.
