I followed the recipe except for the hing, but I didn't get batter. It was way too dry. I had to add water to make it into batter. Never made pakoras before so I don't know if I was just supposed to know to add water. Anyway they tasted really good. I dipped green beans, cauliflower, onions and mushrooms.
