hari matar pakoda recipe | green peas bajji – healthy tea time snack with step by step photo and video recipe. pakoda or pakora recipes have always been one of the popular choices for most of us. these are crispy, crunchy and more importantly, carry an excellent taste because of the deep frying. however, deep frying can be unhealthy and we may need alternative options to it. one such easy and healthy deep-fried pakora recipe is hari matar pakoda recipe known for its taste and use of vegetable puree.

well, as I was explaining earlier, the only change introduced in this recipe is adding green peas puree to the bajji batter. yet it introduces a lot of change to the texture and taste of the bajji. initially i was sceptical to alter my favourite bajji recipe, but trust me you would be pleasantly surprised with it. the earthly and mildly sweet flavour it introduces to the bajji makes it one of the tasty bajji recipes. after getting inspired by this recipe, I have started to prepare my goli baje with almost every other vegetable puree. the closest one to the green peas is the potato-based puree but I still prefer the peas bajji. do try this recipe and let me know if you like the traditional or this new alternative.

furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the hari matar pakoda recipe. firstly in this recipe post, I have shown or used only green peas puree but you can extend it with other vegetable purees. perhaps you can try the combination of peas, potato and broccoli to make it more interesting. secondly, limit the size of each bajji or bonda to a golf size ball so that it can be easily fried. also, the medium size shape helps in cooking the bajji evenly. lastly, keep the flame high while dropping these bajji balls into the oil and turn it to medium or low flame as you start cooking it. also, ensure to pour hot oil on top of bajji while frying so that it gets cooked quickly.
