- Make the goat cheese spread: In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, yogurt, infused olive oil (if desired), orange juice, salt, and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the pakoras: In a mortar and pestle, grind the coriander seeds, cumin, chili powder, and kief (if using) until fine. Transfer to a bowl with the beets, chickpea flour, salt, and soda water. Mix well to form a loose batter. The beets will release liquid as the batter sits, so add more chickpea flour as needed.
- Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375°F*. Fry heaping teaspoons of the beet batter into the oil and cook until lightly golden and crispy, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pakoras to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and serve with the goat cheese spread.
