1. Soak dhal for 1 - 2 hours and later drain water. Here toor dhal has been used. Can use a food processor to coarsely grind the dhals as it should not be ground to a fine paste. If using mixie too see to that it is not ground to a fine paste, just grind coarsely. Peel and grate beetroot and add all the ingredients(dhal, beetroot, salt, green chillies, ginger, hing, curry leaves) and mix well.
2. Heat oil for deep frying and take the mix and drop in as pakoda's in small batches.
3. Deep fry till they are cooked and nice crisp like pakoda. Drain them and serve hot.

1. Can use besan(chickpeas flour/kadalai maavu) in place of soaking dhals. But this is the way they do it in my native.
2. Try preaparing Pakoda curry with left over Pakodas.
3. Try more recipes with Beetroot.
4. Watch out more Pakora Recipes with their combination sauce/ketchups.

1. Apply turmeric to Jack fruit fiber and boil in water for 5 mins, keep aside. Fill an 8-inch cast-iron skillet half-way up with oil. Heat the oil to 360-375ºF.
2. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients. Slowly add in the water, while mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands. Vigorously mix for a couple of seconds. The batter should be thick, almost like flour is just seen as coated .
3. Once the oil is heated, carefully place in heaping tablespoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Try not to overcrowd the oil because it will result in greasy pakoras. Fry until the pakoras are a pecan-brown. Drain on a cooling rack placed over a cookie sheet. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.

Tips :

1. Adding hot oil to the batter makes pakoras crispy.
