Gradually add water to form a thick batter that can coat the back of a spoon. 3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. 4. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated potato mixture into the oil. 5. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. 6. Remove the pakoras using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. 7. Serve hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
