Notes

If you like it crisper add a couple more minutes of cooking time. I air fried for 10 minutes as I had made these a little ahead of time for our evening snack. I warmed the pakoras for 3-4 minutes when we were ready to eat. Air Fryers vary-Its better to cook for a shorter time and add on more minutes if needed for crisper pakoras. My Air fryer is preset to 370F. No water is added to the batter, so add the flours cautiously, we don't want a very thick batter as the pakoras will be dry nor do we want a runny batter as the batter will flow through the holes in the Air Fryer basket.
