About

It is a fascinating, tasty, deep-fried snack recipe made with thin slices of potatoes dipped in spicy, lip-smacking chickpea flour batter. Aloo Pakora, most commonly known as potato bajji, is a classic Indian cuisine or street food recipe served with various sides and condiments. The combination of spicy besan batter with soft, thin-sliced potatoes makes it a tasty snack when served with tea or coffee. Aloo Pakora or Potato Pakoda recipe is straightforward, with essential ingredients available in any kitchen pantry. However, the recipe can be altered by using different types of coating and stuffing. Green chutney can be applied as a stuffing inside the potatoes to make them more lip-smacking. In addition to besan flour, rice and corn flour can be added to make it crisp and crunchy. Also, the same batter can be used with other vegetables to make individual pakoras.
