We love Pakoras in the Maggi kitchen - well in fact anything that we can dip into our Indian Chilli Sauces. This one is designed for our Maggi Masala Chilli Sauce but you can use any one you like best. This easy recipe uses grated sweet potato and spinach but use whatever veg you have available!

Deep fry

Start timer

Fill a saucepan with 3 inches of vegetable or sunflower oil and bring up to frying temperature (180˚C or when a small piece of white bread browns in about 30 seconds). Take care never to leave the oil heating without your attention! Drop small spoonfuls carefully into the oil, turning them over to cook on both sides for a minute or two until golden brown and cooked through. Leave to drain on some kitchen paper while you continue cooking the rest of the mixture.
