Potato Fritters or Aloo Pakoda

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All, 

(Don't you feel it looks like crane st anding on a stone and  waiting to catch a fish!!)

                                         

        

(here for details of the image.)

Last week, I posted Can any one guess what is it? when I caught this photo. When I read Nithu's post (Potato Bajji), I remembered that I also promised that I will post the recipe for it in this week. Even she got different recipe.

So here is my recipe!

Potato - 3 big

Keep potatoes in water for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove clean and cut into round thick slices. If you feel potatoes are not clean, peel the skin and cut in to thick round slices.

  

Oil to fry pakodas

For batter :

Gram flour -  1/2 cup

Salt to taste

Hot oil - 1 tbsp

Eating soda ( soda-bi carb) -  a pinch

Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp

Red chilly powder - 1 tbsp

Sugar - 1 tsp

Mix all in a bowl with little water to make the thick batter. Keep it aside for 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a thick kadai. Dip the potato slices slowly seeing that the slice is covered with full batter and slide them in to oil. Fry till golden color, in batches slowly on medium flame. 

Potato Pakodas are ready to eat with tea or kurmura(churmuri).
