Singhare ke pakore are easy to make and taste delicious. Vrat ke pakore are made by deep frying a mixture of Singhare Ka Atta (Water Chestnut Flour) and boiled potatoes. They have a soft and melt in mouth texture from inside unlike the pakoras made from besan or gram flour.

Since besan is not used during fasting, ours like buckwheat flour, water chestnut our or amaranth our is used to make pakoras, halwa, pancakes (chilla) and bar. When you feel like having something sweet and salty on your fasts, you can prepare Singhara Pakora.

Singhara, also known as Water Caltrop or Water Chestnut is an aquatic fruit that is eaten raw, boiled or as flour. It is very nutritious and highly rich in protein and calcium. Since this flour is made from a fruit it is widely used in preparing various dishes during Vrats (Fasts) & Festivals.

Singhare ke pakore is the most famous and commonly made during fasting or vrat. These vrat wale pakode are very tasty and easy to make.

Serving suggestion: Serve singhare ke pakore with falahari chutney or raita. Here I have served with falahari chutney.

DISCLAIMER – If you do not consume a particular veggie or spice during Navratri, feel free to leave that out and follow your family vrat guidelines.

recipe notes/tips :

  • The batter has to be thick like a thick cake batter or a thick idli batter.
  • You can make these pakoras using kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) also.
  • If you make it like the regular pakora batter or even of medium consistency, otherwise the pakoras split and break while frying.
  • They also absorb a lot of oil if the consistency of the batter is not thick.
  • The consistency should be such, that you can easily shape the pakoras with your hands.
