Ingredients
- 350 grams raw/uncooked prawns
- 2 small green chillies
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 4 cm ginger, peeled
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (from a bottle works)
- 150 grams gram flour

- 100 ml warm water
- 150 ml olive oil for shallow frying - use the type suitable for frying (not the one for salads)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the food processor, apart from the oil and warm water. Pulse until all the ingredients are fully integrated. You can blend it until it becomes a paste if you don't want any texture in the pakoras.
- Wet your hands and scoop out pakora balls, flattening these with the palms of your hands into patties. Do this until you use up all the mixture and set these aside on a plate
- Heat a pan with olive oil. Wet your hands and pick up each patty and gently place into the hot oil. Let the pakoras fry for 2 mins before flipping them over. Repeat this until you get your desired brown colour. Be sure not to crowd your pan otherwise your pakoras will burn.
- Pick these out using your draining ladle/spoon and place the pakoras onto a plate lined with kitchen towel. Pat the pakoras with fresh kitchen towel to remove excess oil. Serve with salad, chutney and enjoy!
