Add 1 tbsp coriander leaves, black pepper powder, baking soda, asafoetida, rice flour and salt. Mix well.
Add coriander seeds and mix again.
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan on medium flame. Once the oil is hot, drop a spoonful of batter into the oil. Keep adding small portions of the batter but don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry until they turn golden on all sides. It may take 2-3 minutes. Take them out on an absorbent paper.
To assemble the chaat, take 4-5 pakodi in the serving bowl, drizzle yoghurt, tamarind chutney and green chutney. Sprinkle chopped onions, black pepper powder, chaat masala and sev. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
