Semiya pakoda recipe | Vermicelli pakora recipe

vermicelli-pakoda-recipe
This recipe was in my hand written cookbook. I found it interesting and wanted to try. It would have been 12 years almost since I wrote this recipe, but trying for the first time. The ingredients were too tempting to try. So I tried without any doubt. Having cooked vermicelli/ semiya and potato in it will never go wrong. It turned out a great snack and glad that I tried it. Here’s the recipe for you all.

Semiya pakoda recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Snack
Prep Time: 10 Mins    |  Cook time: 30 mins     |  Serves: 3

Ingredients

Roasted vermicelli – 1/2 cup


Onion – 2, small


Potato – 1 small


Besan (chickpea flour)- 1/2 cup


Rice flour – 1 tbsp


Green chilli – 2, slit


Finely chopped ginger – 2 tsp


Asafoetida/ Hing – 2 pinches


Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp


Finely chopped mint & coriander leaves – 2 tbsp


Curry leaves – 1 sprig


Hot oil – 1 tbsp


Jeera/ Cumin seeds – 1 tsp


Salt – as needed


Oil to deep fry


Method

  1. Slice onion lengthwise, cook potato, peel off the skin and mash it. Cook the vermicelli in 2 cups of water until tender. Do not over cook. Drain the water.
  2. 1-boil

  3. Add it to cold water immediately and drain it again, keep aside.
  4. 2-drain

  5. In a mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients gently without adding water. I skipped red chilli powder, coriander and mint leaves. But recommend for good flavour.
  6. 3-mix

  7. Heat oil in kadai and add as small pakoras. Cook both sides in medium flame and drain in paper towel.
  8. 4-fry

Notes

    • I forgot to add red chilli powder and had no coriander and mint leaves. So please add it for better results.
    • You can add ginger garlic paste in place of ginger.
    • You can add fennel seeds (saunf/ soambu) in place of jeera.

Serve hot with tomato sauce or chutney or green chutney as I did.

    Hi,

    I’ve been following your blog for a while and have tried some of your recipes too. I like the pot you’re using to boil and wonder where you got. I would love to have one myself.
    Regards,

    Kamala
