Leftover Khichdi to Pakoda

Last week, I was confined to the bed with a bout of illness. The doctor had advised me to have plain food, like khichri for recovery . I grew sick of it within 4-5 days . So after fully regaining my health and strength, I did away with the left over khichri to prepare crispy pakoras (even though I was not allowed to have most of it) . For this recipe, I ground the khichri in the blender jar first. For the pakora batter, I have used both gram flour (besan) and rice flour (chawal ka atta). Besan is a rich source of proteins, while rice flour gives a crispy touch to the pakoras. Chopped onions (pyaaz) have also been used along with some spices. These spices can be added according to taste. The batter should have medium consistency; neither too thick nor too runny. These small pakoras are then deep-fried in a hot pan. Crunchy pakoras can be served with Lahsan (Garlic) ki chutney, Tamarind (imli) chutney, or tomato ketchup.
