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.
