Ingredients
2 cups Chickpea flour (aka - Gram flour, Garbanzo flour)1 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt1 1/2 tsp garam masala or curry powder1 tsp cumin1/2 tsp turmeric1/2 tsp red pepper (opt.)1 1/2 tsp dried cilantro (3 tbsp fresh)----1/2 head small cauliflower, chopped into bite-size pieces1 medium onion, finely chopped1/3 cup peas (fresh/frozen/canned)1 medium carrot, grated1 small potato, gratedOlive oil, to grease baking sheet
Preheat oven to 500F.
In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients (down to the dashes in the ingredient list). Stir in enough water to create a batter, almost pancake-batter consistency, but a little thicker. It took me about 1 1/4 cups of water.
Prepare veggies, and then dump them all into the
batter, mixing to coat well.
Using a spoon, take scoops of battered veggies and drop onto well oiled baking sheet - like when making drop cookies.
Bake for 8 minutes, then flip and bake another 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve with 'Raita' or an Indian tomato sauce.
Makes about 50 pakoras; a serving is 5 pakoras.
Number of Servings: 10

How did it reach such a high caloric count for just 5 pieces if it's basically vegetables covered in flour and spice? It sounds amazingly yummy - but the caloric content sounds way off to me. - 8/4/10

A lot of it is because of the chickpea flour - it's basically ground up beans so the calories aren't extremely low. Also I make mine about 3-4 inches across, so they are big. If you make them smaller you'll get more per serving :)
