The normal kanda bhajji has been elevated to nutritious Pakoda.
I have used soya chunks and mix vegetables for that extra protein and fibre.

Steps

1

First ready all the ingredients. Boil the soya chunks in water with some salt for 4 minutes. Slice onions,chop other vegetables and ready all the spices,salt and soda. Drain and refresh with fresh water to remove the off smell.
2

Squeeze out the water. Crush the soya chunks into granules in a chopper.
3

Transfer into a mixing bowl. Add in the vegetables,dhania, ajwain, chilli powder, amchur, green chillies and salt.
4

Mix well to release the moisture. Now add in besan in batches as required
5

Mix and add in pinch of soda. Put little water on the soda.
6

Mix well to get a well bounded soft mixture. Heat oil for deep fry. Drop pakoras and fry until crispy. Fry first on fast gas and then on medium heat for best results.
7

Drain off excess oil and serve. Although monsoon is dodging is, I have made Pakoras to remember the rain gods to shower rains on India. Happy cooking 😊!!
