Preparation method:

In a mixing bowl add a cup of Bombay rava, cup of whisked curd, and salt as per taste.
Mix all the ingredients evenly, until combined with a spoon by adding water gradually.
Don’t add all the water at a time.
Make a smooth thick paste not too thick and not too thin and ensure that no lumps either.
Bring it to the consistency like that of pakoda batter.
Once you get the right consistency of the batter then you will surely get the crispiness of the fritter or pakoda.

Now add finely chopped onions, green chilies, grated carrot, chopped capsicum, coriander leaves, curry leaves and chopped pudina into the smooth paste.
Mix all the vegetables along with the batter.
Then add ¼ teaspoon of cooking soda to the rava batter and mix it well.
Heat oil in a frying pan,
Shape the batter to round balls with your fingers and gently swipe the excess batter.
Drop small balls into the hot oil carefully and fry till the pakodas are golden brown in color under medium flame.
Once one side of the pakoda turns golden brown, then turn over the pakoda to the other side and fry until golden as well.
Once the fritters or pakodas have turned golden brown on both sides scoop them out with a drainer to drain the excess oil.
Spread a paper napkin on the plate.
Finally transfer them from the drainer into a plate layered with oil absorbing kitchen paper napkin.
Repeat the same process till the rest of the dough is done.
