This Roti Pakora recipe is something I came up with to save leftover roti (flat bread from going to waste. It is as onion pakoras, delicious, vegan, and gluten free. Pakoras make the perfect snack on a rainy afternoon.
The Pakora Ingredients

Salt ¼ tsp.
Dry coriander seeds – pinch.
Baking soda – a pinch
Ajwain – a pinch.
Zeera – a pinch.
Spinach – ¼ cup
Instructions
Oil for frying 1 liter
- Cut the roti into large triangles and separate them into individual rings, then set aside.
- Mix the gram flour, salt, red chili, coriander, baking soda, ajwain, zeera in a large bowl.
- Heat the oil in a wok.
- Add 4 tbsps. of the water and create a paste that is thin enough that it is the consistency of hot cream, add more water if needed.
- Then, add all the roti in one go, and move around with a spatula or your hands until all the roti is completely coated in the mixture. Let sit for 3-5 mins.
- Once the oil is sizzling, add the roti in batches, making sure to separate them as you’re adding them to avoid clumps.
- Let it cook, flipping occasionally for about 2 mins, once they start getting a medium brown, take them out and drain the oil on paper towels.
