Chingrir bora - Shrimp pakora


I got this awesome recipe from Bongmom's Cookbook. It was worth taking this risk with the shrimps. I usually don't like experimenting with shrimps for some reason, probably because they are my favorites. Anyways, I did not end the recipe with the bora(pakora). I made a curry with half of these boras and named it chingrir borar daalna. I will post the recipe later. For now enjoy these hot shrimp boras.

Ingredients:

  • Shrimps                - 10-12, medium
  • Red Masoor daal   - 1/3rd cup
  • Onion                   - 1 medium, finely chopped
  • Green chilli          - 3-4, finely chopped
  • Salt                      - to taste
  • Oil                       - for frying


Method:
1. Soak masoor daal in a cup of water for half an hour.
2. Chop the shrimps into small pieces.
3. Put daal and shrimp in a blender and make a smooth paste.
4. To the paste add chopped onion, chopped green chilli and salt. Mix well.

5. Heat oil in a pan. When hot, using a table spoon add small scoops of mix in the oil.
6. Fry in medium heat for a minute. Flip the side gently and fry the other side. Fry till both the sides turn golden brown.

7. Remove from pan and place on paper towel to get rid of the extra oil.
8. The tasty yummy shrimp pakora is ready to serve. Serve with chutney or sauce.
