Aloo (Potato) Pakora image

I got this recipe from my friend Rupali. It's good for a fast and easy side dish to an indian meal. Also, if it is made with less chilli powder, it is excellent as a snack for kids. They'll eat them right up.

Time 10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large potatoes
2 cups corn oil (for frying)
1 cup besan (chickpea flour)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon red chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin powder
4 cloves of crushed garlic
3 inches of crushed ginger
salt
2 tablespoons chopped coriander (optional)

Steps:

  • Add water to the Besan.
  • Besan has a tendency to be very clumpy, so you should add just a few tablespoons at a time to keep the batter smooth.
  • Add the Chilli powder, cumin powder, garlic, ginger, salt and chopped coriander and stir the batter.
  • The potatoes should be sliced very thinly.
  • No thicker than 1/4 of an inch.
  • At this point test one slice of potato in the batter.
  • There should just be a thin coat of batter.
  • Heat the oil in a pan.
  • Use a larger frying pan so that you have more surface area.
  • The oil doesn't need to be too deep since the potato slices are very thin.
  • Dip the potato slices in the batter and fry them till they are golden brown.
  • Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and set them on a paper towel for a minute to soak up the excess oil.

I thought the pakoras were a bit dry. I would have liked them to be more moist.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still pretty good.

I thought the pakoras were a bit bland. I would have liked them to have more flavor.

I found that the pakoras didn't hold together very well. They kept falling apart when I tried to eat them.

These were a bit too oily for my taste, but they were still pretty good.
