Dill leaves pakora recipe

Dill leaves pakora recipe – This is my childhood favorite. It is made from besan, rice flour, onion, dill leaves and few spices.

The procedure is similar to any kind or pakoda recipe. Make batter and fry till crisp.

In Gujarat, dill leaves are known as Suva bhaji. But for other languages name, I searched Wikipedia and here they are – Shepu in Marathi, sabbasige soppu in Kannada and sada kuppi in

Not everyone likes the taste of dill leaves as it has very strong aroma and taste. But I grew up eating it and I am used to with its flavor. So I like it.

It has many healthy benefits and low in calories. I have seen that suva is given to the mother right after she delivers the baby. No idea why but I have seen it around when I was in India.

If making and dish with this bhaji and not sure if you will like it or not. In that case, start with less amount and once you get used to, increase the quantity.

3) Mix well till everything incorporated.

4) Add little water at a time and make thick batter.

5) Meanwhile heat the oil in kadai or pan on medium heat for deep or shallow frying. Once oil is hot enough; drop small balls in the oil using your hand or with help of two spoons.

6) Do not touch for a minute or so and then keep moving and turning around the pakora for even browning and cooking. Always fry them on medium heat. If oil is too hot then pakora stays raw from inside and become brown faster from outside. So please make sure right oil temperature. And also do not overcrowd the pan. Fry few at a time.

7) Once pakora become golden brown, remove them on paper towel lined plate. Oops that half already went in my stomach before I take the photo.

Serve suva bhaji pakoda warm or hot to get the best taste out of it.
