1: Serrano chili, minced
1 tbsp: Coriander seeds,
1 tsp: Salt,

Vegetable oil,
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together besan, cilantro, pomegranate seeds,
chili, coriander seeds, salt and chili powder. Blend in enough water
to make a thick batter. Stir in onion, potato and tomato.
In a deep fryer or heavy large saucepan, heat oil to 350 degrees F.
Fry heaping tablespoons of the batter in batches until golden, about
2 minutes. (Take care not to crowd the pakoras while cooking.) Remove
from oil and drain pakoras on paper towels.
Increase oil temperature to 400 F. Refry pakoras until crisp and

ahead. Serve at room temperature or reheat in a 250 F oven. Serve
with cilantro and mint chutney.
