Courgette and Onion Pakoda — My take on my Indian friend's rei

My take on #Courgette and #Onion #pakoda 🇮🇳    

Crispy #GramFlour #Fritter


Ingredients and guide:

Salt and drain grated #courgettes 🇮🇹 , 4 medium size

Chop the following ingredients in a food processor:

  • 2 #onions 🇫🇮
  • 1 yellow #chilli 🇫🇮
  • 1 red #chilli 🇫🇮
  • 2 #garlic cloves 🇫🇮
  • Chopped #ginger, thump size 🇨🇳
  • Fresh chives or coriander 🇫🇮

Mix into a bowl full of grated & drained courgettes the above and below ingredients:

  • 1tsp garam masala 🇮🇳
  • 2tsp cumin seeds (i love cumin seeds!) 🇫🇮
  • 1 dl #greekyogurt 🇬🇷
  • 2-3 dl Besan aka gram flour 🇬🇧
  • 1 dl #breadcrumbs 🇫🇮
  • 1 tl #bakingpowder 🇩🇪

Make bitesize portions and fry them in oil. I used sunflower oil 🇩🇪 and a splash of #evoo 🇬🇷

Eat when warm. I dipped mine in a mix of sriracha 🇺🇲 and ketchup 🇫🇮

The national flags (🇫🇮, 🇬🇷, 🇩🇪, 🇮🇳, 🇬🇷, 🇨🇳, 🇮🇹, etc.are just practical examples on how trade-depend nations and households actually are.

I feed sorry for Britain and the British Brexiters, but I bet they can fix their trade agreements on time.


Quite interesting fact i.e. QI fact that all my Indian friends find incredible: 

Finland supplies approximately 30% of the world's caraway / cumin production from some 1500 farms, the high output occurring possibly from its favorable climate and latitudes, which ensure long summer hours of sunlight. (Wikipedia 2021). Google it, if you do not believe it!
