I start with 1 1/2 cups of chickpea flour and I add a tbsp of curry powder, salt cumin seed, lemon juice, water, and begin mixing, keep adding water until u have the right consistency, the thinner the better, then I add more salt, curry powder, cumin seed and chopped garlic... your batter should have a good taste. If your batter doesn’t taste good your pakora won’t taste good. After it’s mixed well and flavor is right, add the cilantro and onion. The very last thing added is the the baking powder to make the inside light and fluffy.
