You might not believe you could lose weight while on a diet which includes pakoras but it is feasible. The key is to not eat pakoras or other high calorie vegetables every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories per day, and then one day, I eat anything - without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have only been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

On my one non diet day per week, I like to eat indian food. I never thought I could lose 5 kilos while eating indian meals but am very pleased to see it can happen. If you feel like trying some indian food, I propose you make pakoras which is one of my most admired indian recipes.

Pakoras

1/2 cup besan
5 ounces warm water
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Paprika (optional)
1 small onion
1 potato
A few spinach leaves
Oil for deep frying

In a bowl put the besan and half the water and stir until it becomes a thick batter. Beat hard for 5 minutes. Gradually add remaining water, and set aside to swell for 30 minutes.

Add salt, pepper and garam masala and beat again. Wash peel and slice the onion and potatoes. Wash and pat dry the spinach leaves.

Heat oil until smoking hot, dip the vegetables in the batter and deep fry until golden brown.

Serve hot.

You can adapt the recipe to make it a little bit healthier or with fewer calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It did work for me and could assist you to lose weight as well.
