Maggi Pakoras

Ingredients

2 Packets Maggi Noodles, cooked (without seasoning packet)

1 cup Gram Flour

½ cup   Carrots, Finely sliced

½ cup    Green Cabbage, Finely sliced

½ cup    Onion, finely sliced

½ tsp     Fresh Ginger, Minced

3 to 4 Green chilli, chopped finely

2 tsp      Salt

1 tsp     Red chilli powder

Pinch    Baking Soda

1 tsp     Oil

Little     Water

Oil, for frying

Method:

Cook both packets of noodles without the seasoning packet until just cooked.  Run cold water over them to stop the cooking process. Set aside.  Heat oil in a wok or medium size pot. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the noodles and water.  Coat everything well with the gram flour and seasoning. Add the water very slowly, to create a thick, smooth paste with the vegetable mix. Mix the noodles and vegetables together gently in the batter using your hands.  The noodles with break up into smaller pieces. Add 1 tsp hot oil from the pot to the batter and mix in well. Test a small bit of the batter in the oil to see if the temperature is right. Take a few strands place into the frying oil gently with your fingers.   Be careful not to touch the oil. Cook until a dark golden brown.  If you find that, it gets brown too quickly. Drain on paper towels.  Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite chutney or ketchup!
