Add a pinch of baking soda to the gram flour mixture and beat it well to incorporate air, which helps make the pakoras light and crispy, while absorbing less oil.
Pakoras absorb excess oil if the gram flour batter is made too thin, if the oil is not hot enough, or if too many pakoras are fried at once causing the oil temperature to drop.
After preparing the pakora batter, you should let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the gram flour to rise, which makes the pakoras light and crispy.
