Potato & Onion Pakodas
1.Besan/Chickpea flour -1 cup
Chilli powder-1/2 tsp
Cumin powder-1/4 tsp
Asafoetida-2 pinches
Baking Soda-1 pinch
Salt to taste
Add all the above ingredients in a bowl and stir with a spoon.Add some water to make a thick batter.
2.Potato-1 medium
Onion-1 big
Ginger-1 tsp
Green Chillies -3
Curry leaves -3-4
Thinly slice the onion and then the potato into julien sticks.Chop the ginger,green chillies and curry leaves too.Add all this to the besan batter and stir in so that it’s well coated .Adjust salt.U should immediately fry this as onions and potatoes will bleed water if it’s kept for long and u won’t get crispy Pakodas.
Now heat coconut oil in a kadai and fry the Pakodas by dropping a tbsp each of the Pakoda mixture into the hot oil.Turn the pakodas only when the bottom is browned.Once both sides are browned drain on tissues.Repeat till all the batter is used up.
Serve it with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
For mint chutney grind together some mint & coriander leaves along with 2-3 green chillies and 2shallots along with water to a smooth paste.Add 1/4 tsp cumin powder(optional ),1/4 cup yoghurt and salt to taste .Adjust the consistency by adding water.Mint chutney is ready.
