Aloo Pakoda

The Perfect Recipe: A Tea-Time Delight

Descriptions

Aloo pakoda is a crispy and flavorful Indian fritter made with potatoes dipped in a spiced gram flour batter and deep-fried. It’s a popular vegetarian snack enjoyed with chutney or chai.

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gram flour (besan) with salt, dhania powder, amchoor powder, red chili powder, garam masala, jeera, kasuri methi, a pinch of hing, and curd.
Mix these ingredients thoroughly while gradually adding half a cup of water to form a smooth batter.
Peel the potatoes, wash them, and slice them into thin rounds.
Submerge the potato slices in the prepared batter, ensuring each slice is well coated.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully pick each batter-coated potato slice and drop it into the hot oil. Fry the slices until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the pakodas from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the Aloo Pakoda hot, accompanied by ketchup or your choice of chutney.

Enjoy this delightful snack, perfect for rainy days or as a tasty treat during gatherings.

Note's

Here are some additional details you can include in your aloo pakoda recipe:

Tips for crispy pakoras: Use cold water for the batter, it helps maintain the crispiness. Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying, as this can lower the oil temperature and make the pakoras soggy.
Variations: You can add chopped green chilies, coriander leaves, or grated onion to the batter for extra flavor.
Serving suggestions: Aloo pakoda is best enjoyed hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce, such as coriander chutney, tamarind chutney, or even ketchup.
