Ingredients
  

  • 2 Medium sized Potatoes
  • 1 cup fine Besan
  • 1 tbsp Rice Flour
  • salt to taste
  • ½ tsp Roasted cumin powder
  • ½ tsp Red chilli powder
  • ½ tsp Haldi Powder
  • ½ tsp Red chilli flakes
  • 1 pinch Baking soda
  • 1 tbsp chopped Coriander leaves
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • Oil For Frying

Instructions
 

  • Peel the outer layer of 2 medium-sized potatoes to make crispy Aloo Pakora.
  • Wash the potatoes properly and then slice them into thin slices.
  • Now, take water in a pot and add all the potato slices into the water. Wash 3-4 times till the water seems clear. Keep it aside.
  • Take a mixing bowl, add 1 cup fine Besan, 1 tbsp Rice Flour, salt to taste, ½ tsp Roasted cumin powder, ½ tsp Red chilli powder, ½ tsp Haldi Powder, ½ tsp Red chilli flakes, 1 pinch Baking soda, 1 tbsp chopped Coriander leaves.
  • Gradually start adding water to make a batter. Mix with a whisker.
  • I used almost ¾ cup of water to make the batter. Remember that the batter should not become too thin.
  • Add 1 tbsp of hot oil. Mix well.
  • The batter is ready. The consistency of the batter should be medium and not too thick or too thin.
  • Place the potato slices on a kitchen towel. Now, dry the slices, or else they will not get coated in the batter.
  • The potato slices are dried and ready to be dipped in the batter.
  • Dip the potato slices in the batter.
  • Heat oil in a Kadai. Dip the potato slices in the oil to fry them.
  • Fry both sides evenly.
  • Fry all the Aloo Pakora until they get crispy and take them out with a strainer.
  • Sprinkle chaat masala to make them taste even more delicious.
  • Serve with ketchup and green chutney.
  • Enjoy.
