Tips

  • Oven will take more time than airfryer; oven usually takes double the cooking time of an airfryer.
  • If you add extra water to the batter, add some more rice flour.
  • Spraying oil ensures the pakoras don't stick to the airfryer basket.
  • You can use parchment paper if you don't want to use any oil.
  • Brushing a little oil on top is recommended to prevent the pakoras from becoming too dry.
  • Serve with green chutney.
