Add Water: Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously, until you achieve a smooth and semi-thick batter consistency.
Chill the Batter: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors to meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
Heat Oil: In a wok or deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (180°C).
Prepare Vegetables: While the oil is heating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the cauliflower florets, potato, onion, zucchini, and green chilies into bite-sized pieces.
Coat Vegetables: Dip each vegetable piece into the prepared batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Fry Pakoras: Carefully place the coated vegetables into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry until the pakoras are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Drain and Serve: Once the pakoras are cooked, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on clean paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve Hot: Transfer the drained pakoras to a serving platter and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or ketchup.

Mixed Vegetable Pakoras are best enjoyed fresh and hot, straight from the fryer.
Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your preference by adding more or less chili powder.
Serve these crispy pakoras as a delightful snack or appetizer for any occasion, whether it’s a casual gathering or a special celebration.
Experiment with different vegetables based on your personal taste and what’s in season. Eggplant, bell peppers, and spinach are also great options for pakoras.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the pakoras to ensure they cook evenly and develop a crispy texture.
Leftover pakoras can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness before serving.
