Turnip or Shalgam is one such Vegetable that is predominantly available in Winters. And it's a delicious one too. I have made use of it in these lip-smacking Pakoras or Fritters.
Turnip goes well with anything. It can be mixed with any other Vegetable and made into a combination dish. And can be enjoyed both in Veg and Non-Veg preparations as we all do in my City.

It's the most simplest and the most loved Vegetable too. It's sweet and delicious.
Easy to make and perfect for everyone on any day.
These Pakoras are delicious with some freshly made Dip or Chutney. Ketchup is also an amazing accompaniment to these lovely looking Pakoras. Everyone would love them for sure. Try them while in Season. They make for a good Tea-time snack option. Hot and crisp Fritters are an excellent choice for evening get togethers or some quality family time especially on the weekends or the holidays.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Make a thick yet a fluffy batter using all the ingredients mentioned for making these delicious Fritters or Pakoras. The batter should not be watery. As onions have a tendency of leaving water. Therefore use water as required. Give it a standing time of at least 20 minutes. It's a must for flavours to infuse and also for fluffy Fritters.
2

Dip each slice of it in the batter and see to it that it's nicely coated with the batter. Deep fry them on a medium-high heat in hot oil until done. Cook well on both the sides turning at regular intervals for even cooking. It is a must to switch sides to cook well on both the sides.
3

Serve them piping hot with any chutney of your choice with a sprinkle of some chat masala too on top. It really gives a nice aroma and flavour. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
