1. To prepare the batter take soaked urad dal, add 2 green chillies, 1 inch ginger and grind them to paste.
2. Add besan, a pinch of turmeric, 1 tsp chili powder, and the required amount of water to make a thick batter. Rest for 2 hours.
3. Add the other mentioned ingredients.
4. Heat oil to medium heat. Take a little batter at a time to form round pakodas. Make 4-5 pakodas in one go.
