Serving Suggestions:

• Vegetable Pakoras: Simply mix Shan Pakora Mix with chopped vegetables like onions, spinach, potatoes, or cauliflower, add water to form a batter, and deep-fry until golden brown. Serve with tamarind or mint chutney for a perfect snack.
• Chicken Pakoras: For a meatier option, use small chunks of chicken marinated with yogurt, ginger, and garlic, then dip in the pakora mix batter before frying. These make a great appetizer for any gathering.
• Pakora Sandwiches: Use the pakoras as filling for sandwiches or wraps with lettuce, tomatoes, and a drizzle of yogurt or chutney for a delicious meal.

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the spice mix is kept in an airtight container to preserve its freshness and flavour.

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Choose your main ingredients for the pakoras. Common choices include sliced onions, diced potatoes, chopped spinach, or small pieces of chicken. For vegetable pakoras, combine a mix of vegetables in a bowl.

2. Make the Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, add the Shan Pakora Mix and enough water to make a thick batter. Stir until smooth and well-combined. The consistency of the batter should be thick enough to coat the ingredients.

3. Coat the Ingredients:

   • Add the chopped vegetables or chicken to the batter and mix until everything is evenly coated. If you prefer a crispier texture, you can add a little extra chickpea flour to the batter.

4. Fry the Pakoras:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until the pakoras are golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

5. Serve:

   • Serve your freshly fried pakoras hot with chutneys, yogurt, or your favourite dipping sauce. They are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or as part of a larger meal.

Shan Pakora Mix Spice Mix guarantees a deliciously crispy and flavourful result every time. Perfect for any occasion, this mix brings the authentic taste of homemade pakoras right to your table with minimal effort and maximum flavour.
