These are my kids(and my) all time favourite thing to order at our local Indian Chinese restaurant. I can't find this recipe anywhere so I'm just trying to recreate this from memories of it's taste.
1 lb raw Tiger or White Shrimp
700 gms Cooked Salad Shrimp
4 spring onions sliced
1 cup coriander chopped
1 cup each gram flour and cornstarch
2 tbsps each dark soya, fish sauce and chilli paste
Pinch of salt
water.
2-3 cups of oil.
Chop the raw shrimp and pulse half of it. Mix the pulsed, chopped and cooked salad shrimp together. In a separate bowl, mix together all the other ingredients adding water at intervals till the lumps are gone and you have a nice thick paste. Add to the shrimp mixture. in hot oil, fry spoonfuls of the mixture till cooked and crispy. Enjoy!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI tried these pakoras, following the recipe to the T but they didn't turn crispy at all. The flavours were good though. Not sure what went wrong. Any insights?
Thank you,
Reena
