Aloo Pakora (Potato Fritters)

Aloo Pakora are crispy, deep-fried potato fritters that are perfect for snacking. Coated in a spiced chickpea flour batter, these delightful bites are a popular Indian street food, offering a warm and crunchy texture.

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato, chickpea flour, rice flour, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
2. 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.
