Le Taj Baked Vegetable Pakoras

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cups chickpea flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ tsp Sea Salt
• 1 cup Le Taj sauce, prepared
• 1 cup cauliflower, chopped into bite-size pieces
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• ¹⁄₂ cup frozen green peas
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 medium potato, peeled and grated

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 450° F (230° C). Using a basting brush, lightly oil a Sheet Pan. Place in oven while preparing the rest of ingredients so your pan is hot when you scoop the batter onto it.
2. In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour, baking powder, and Sea Salt.
3. Stir in 1⁄4 cup Le Taj sauce, and 1 cup water to create a very thick pancake batter. Add a little water at a time, if required, to get a thick but smooth consistency.
4. Add vegetables to the batter, mixing well to coat
5. Remove Sheet Pan from oven. Scoop 1 generous tbsp of battered veggies, and drop onto the Sheet Pan, approximately 2’’ apart.
6. Bake for 8–9 minutes, then flip and bake an additional 9–10 minutes, until golden-brown.
7. Serve hot, with remaining prepared Le Taj sauce for dipping.
