Ingredients:

• 2 nos.- potatoes grated

• 1 nos.- onion thinly sliced

• 1 nos.- green chilli

• ½ cup - gram flour

• 1 tbsp - semolina

• 1 tsp - red chilli flakes

• 1 tsp - garam masala

• 1 tsp - salt

• 1 tsp - lemon juice

• 4 - bread slices

• Oil for frying

Recipe/Instructions:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, asafoetida, chopped green chilies, and salt.

• Gradually add water while stirring to make a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

• Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

• Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai on medium heat.

• Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated potato and onion slices into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

• Fry the pakodas until they turn golden brown and crisp, flipping them occasionally for even frying. This should take about 4-5 minutes per batch.

• Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pakodas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

• Garnish with fresh coriander leaves (if desired) and serve hot with green chutney or tamarind chutney and a cup of tea.

• Enjoy your homemade Aloo Pyaz Pakoda with green chutney or sauce!

Suggestion

• Make sure onion are thinly sliced.

• Adding rice flour make pakoda crispier.

• Always serve pakoda hot with green chutney, can use sauce or other dip but green chutney tastes better.
