Some Tips To Make Crispy Cabbage Pakoda Recipe
1. Adding little bit of fat to the flour mixture makes the pakoda crispy, you can either add 1 teaspoon melted ghee or hot oil to the flour. I have used the hot oil here. add only 1-2 teaspoons oil, do not add more oil.
2.Water should be just sprinkled as and when needed to bind the vegetable with flour, if you add more water the pakodas will turn soft and uncooked from inside.
3. The oil used for frying pakoda should be smoking hot, if not the pakoda will soak up more oil and turn soft after cooling down.
4. Use rice flour instead of corn flour, pakoda made with rice and besan flour stays crispy even for 2-3 days.
