Nepali Vegetable Pakauda Recipe

Last Updated: October 20, 2021 · Recipes

Vegetable Pakauda Is basically my most favorite fried snack here in Nepal!! I absolutely LOVE vegetable pakauda and I think you definitely would too!

So I’ve found a classic Nepali vegetable pakauda recipe (you may know them as Indian pakoras..) that is both easy and fun to make. Hope you enjoy it!  If you have any leftovers feel free to invite me over or send them to me by delivery (though with how delicious these are I seriously doubt you’ll have any leftover!) 😉

Nepali Vegetable Pakauda Recipe

Vegetable pakaudas are my favorite because they are incredibly greasy n’ tasty fritters.  You eat one and find yourself immediately reaching for the second!  They are similar to paneer pakauda (pakoda) but I find veg pakauda to be much more savory and full of flavor.

What actually prompted me to write about veg pakauda is because for the past week or two we (and by we I mean the apartment we live in) have had no cooking gas (due to a strung-out political crisis leading to an unofficial blockade imposed by the Indian government and thus a shortage of both petrol and cooking gas) – whew.

Any-who, because we ran out of cooking gas, we had to go eat out in the local restaurants in our neighborhood.  The best thing about eating locally is that it’s some of the best tasting Nepali food you can find and not to mention it’s the cheapest meal you’ll probably ever have.  Paul and I both filled up on lunch in a super local place up the street the other day and it cost us a total of 100 Nprs which is the near equivalent to just 1 mere US dollar.

We also just ate veg pakauda’s yesterday for lunch at the institute I work at.  It was a special day yesterday because it was our colleague’s and dear friend’s birthday, so we had two of my favorite dishes: veg pakauda and masyeura (soybean balls) curry. 🙂

Recipe

You will need the following ingredients..

  • Cabbage                                       200 grams
  • French beans                             100 gm
  • Carrot                                           100 gm
  • Potato (boiled & grated)         100 gm
  • Onion                                           100 gm
  • Egg                                                1 piece
  • Gram flour                                  1 cup
  • Wheat flour                                1/2 cup
  • Coriander (chopped)               3 tbsp
  • Green chilly (careful!)             1-3 pieces
  • Ginger/garlic paste                  1 tbsp
  • Cumin powder                           1/2 tsp
  • Garam masala                            1/2 tsp
  • Red chili powder                        optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil to fry (sunflower or vegetable oil)

Got ’em? Alright, let’s get cooking!

Delicious directions

  • Boil the cabbage, French beans, and carrots
    • Chop finely
  • Chop onion & green chilly(ies)
  • Keep above chopped ingredients in a bowl and add the following ingredients:
    • Gram flour
    • Wheat flour
    • Egg
    • Above mentioned spices
    • Mix all of these ingredients together very well
  • Heat oil in pan
  • Make small, round balls with the mixture
  • Deep fry until light/golden brown
  • Yay, you’re done!

You can also sprinkle chat masala on pakaudas before serving (optional) and or serve the veg pakaudas with ketchup or tomato pickle.

I usually just gobble them up too fast to even have a chance to dip one or two in the sauces but… up to you!

Hope you enjoyed this quick little recipe! Let me know how your pakauda’s turned out and don’t forget to invite me over if you ever make any! 😉

Tips from a long-time nomad ⬇️✨ 💻 WORKIN Tips from a long-time nomad ⬇️✨

💻 WORKING ONLINE
While not all nomads/remote workers have online-specific jobs, it’s the easiest way to sustain an income for full-time or long-term travel. Here are some jobs you can do as a digital nomad!

• Blogging (This is what I do full-time!)
• Content Creation / Brand Sponsorship
• Virtual Assisting
• Social Media Management
• YouTube or Podcasting
• Graphic / Web Design
• Coding / Development
• Photography / Videography
• Freelance Writing (How I started)
• Marketing / Amazon FBA / Ecommerce

📍PICKING YOUR DIGITAL NOMAD DESTINATION
There are many countries out there offering digital nomad visas, but you don’t even need one to just travel as a tourist and stay in-country for 30, 60, 90, or 180 days. Nomads go everywhere as long as there’s a Wi-Fi connection, some countries you may consider are Portugal, Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, Vietnam, Croatia, Canada, Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil, and beyond! Even lesser-known places such as Namibia are starting to offer nomad visas to entice long-term travelers to visit.

🏡 FINDING HOUSING ABROAD
Read my blog post for the full guide on this, but basically, check local Facebook groups for renting local housing for extended stays and then use Airbnbs for shorter stays or to negotiate longer contracts with the owner. There are even more “nomad rental websites” these days to make finding accommodation even easier. Don’t overlook co-living/working spaces too like Selina where the digital nomad community tends to congregate.

💛 EXPLORING LOCALLY/RESPONSIBLY
As always, be mindful and respectful when you visit these communities. Many small towns are struggling with rapid growth and overdevelopment so be mindful of your choices of where you stay, how you spend your money, and who you support.

My best advice + detailed guides are all on the blog, free for you to use! Let me know if you have any questions about digital nomad life! 

Lastly, don’t overthink it. Moving countries isn’t as intimidating as you may think! It’s become second nature for us now after several years! 🐈‍⬛💃🌎✨
I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to discover t I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to discover this incredible country beyond the resorts and beaches, having lived temporarily in 5 out of the 32 Mexican states (Nayarit, Quintana Roo, Chiapas, Oaxaca, and now Baja California Sur) as a digital nomad who’s been slow traveling/living in and out of Mexico since 2018. 

There is so, so much cultural and natural beauty in Mexico — I wish more people could experience this country for themselves and not through the eyes of the media.

***Please visit Mexico as a digital nomad (or tourist in general) responsibly and mindfully. Stay local, eat local, drink local, shop local, support local. Leave No Trace and be conscious of your choices and impact!*** 

Here are the cities/towns we’ve slow traveled/lived in for extended stays.

• Oaxaca City — a colorful, historic open museum rich in indigenous culture and gastronomy 
• San Cristóbal de las Casas — an endearing pueblo mágico in the Chiapas Highlands
• La Paz — the capital city of BCS teeming with marine life, diving, fish tacos, and desert vibes
• San Pancho — an eco-conscious town in Nayarit famous for its sunsets and community
• Tulum — no introduction needed (and I wouldn’t go back here as a nomad due to overdevelopment)

Other great cities/towns/destinations for digital nomads are:

• Guadalajara (state of Jalisco)
• Santiago de Querétaro (state of Querétaro)
• San Miguel de Allende or Guanajuato City (state of Guanajuato)
• Playa del Carmen (state of Quintana Roo)
• Valladolid or Mérida (state of Yucatán)
• México City/CDMX (state of México)
• Sayulita (state of Nayarit)
• Puerto Vallarta (state of Jalisco)
• Puerto Escondido (state of Oaxaca)

I’d love to know what you think about Mexico and where you’ve been in the comments! 🇲🇽💛

And for the detailed guide of 13 places to live/visit, read my blog @bucketlistbri .com (just type in “places to live mexico” in the quick search bar if you can’t find the post under my “Mexico” category).

PSA: Your anxiety, problems or (bad) habits will f PSA: Your anxiety, problems or (bad) habits will follow you around the world until you face them no matter how much you travel or move countries 🙃 

I know I’m not the only one that feels restless at times and idolizes moving to a new region/country/continent to shake my feelings of anxiety or self-doubt or fear! (Also, I tend to think about moving to another country even when I just moved to a new one 😅)

I know because I have lived abroad for 8+ years. I used to try to drown out my icky feelings and past traumas with lots of alcohol but now I carry them with me like I do my mismatched socks — they add to the quirkiness and remind me I don’t have to be, and am not, perfect. 

And that life is more interesting that way, anyway. 

Anddd that most importantly, whenever I get lost, I can and will be found again — I just may look and think differently after new adventures but I am still loved and never lost forever 🧦 ✨💛 

In sum, whether you travel full-time or not, take care of yourself ✨💛
