- Step 1
Wash the ajwain leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.

In a mixing bowl, combine besan, rice flour, and salt.

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the leaves.

FAQS
Can I use any other leaves instead of ajwain leaves?
Yes, you can use spinach or fenugreek leaves as an alternative, but the flavor will differ.
Can I make the batter in advance?
It is best to prepare the batter fresh, but you can mix the dry ingredients in advance and add water just before frying.
What oil is best for frying pakodas?
Any neutral oil with a high smoke point, like sunflower or vegetable oil, works well for frying pakodas.
Can I make these pakodas gluten-free?
Yes, you can skip the rice flour or replace it with a gluten-free alternative like cornflour.
How do I store leftover pakodas?
Pakodas are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for a day. Reheat them in an oven or air fryer to regain crispiness.
