Ingredients for Aloo Potato Pakora

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
  • Corn Oil
  • Besan
  • Water as needed to make a batter
  • Red Chili Powder
  • Cumin Powder
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Salt to taste

How to Make Aloo Potato Pakora

  1. Peel and grate the potatoes. Squeeze out any excess water.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, green chilies, gram flour, chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt.
  3. Add water gradually to make a thick batter.
  4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  6. Fry the pakoras until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally.
  7. Remove the pakoras from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
