Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

vegetable oil, for frying
300 g green beans, sliced diagonally
3 T fresh mint roughly chopped
1 t garam masala
150 g cake flour
½ t baking powder
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 green chilli, seeded and chopped
2 free-range eggs
For the dressing, blend:
½ cup coconut milk
50 g plain yoghurt
100 g roasted, salted cashew nuts
1 t fresh ginger, crus

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the oil to 160°C, or bring to a medium-high heat. Check to see if the oil is ready for frying by dropping a tiny amount of pakora batter into the oil. If it bubbles and floats, it’s ready.

2. In a bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients. Using two tablespoons, spoon the mixture into the oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot with the dressing.

Cook's note: Pakoras are an excellent way to enjoy any veggie. They’re delightful with this creamy dip.
