Ingredients

600 g Potatoes
200 g Gram Flour
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Chilli Flakes
2 tsp Coriander Seeds crushed
2 tbsp Cornflour
50 g Coriander finely chopped
150 ml Water

Instructions

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin slices that are approximately 0.5cm wide
Add the gram flour, turmeric powder, salt, chilli flakes, crushed coriander seeds and finely chopped coriander in a bowl then add the water until a thick batter forms
Mix the potato pieces into the batter – this batter must be made immediately prior to frying as otherwise it will become too watery if left for too long, if this does occur add some more gram flour
Heat a pan with oil for deep frying until medium-hot ensuring that the oil is not too hot – to test this you can add a small ball of the dough into the pan, and it should rise with tiny bubbles surrounding it
Gently add the potato slices into the pan – there should be tiny bubbles surrounding them – and allow them to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown before flipping and allowing to cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the other side
Your aloo pakora are ready!
