Notes

Oil should not be very hot, else pakoras will remain raw from inside. And if we fry in cold oil pakoda will absorb lot of oil and pakoda will be very oily.
Use any combination of lentils. Dhuli Urad dal(Split Black Gram both skinned and skinless) can also be used to prepare pakoras.
2 tbsp Cornflour or rice flour or potato starch can also be used in place of poha, but that is optional. You can also omit poha or the above mentioned flours.
You can add chopped coriander leaves or spinach leaves.
