Indian Pakoras

This is a basic recipe for pakoras, the great Indian delight which we can almost translate as fritters.  To vary it, try the chicken pakoras or the rice pakoras

• 1/2 kg (1 to 1/2 cups) oil for deep frying
• 1/2 kg (1 pound) gram flour
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 potato chopped
• 6 spoons yogurt
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 4 teaspoons red chili powder
• 2 teaspoons whole coriander
• 2 green chilies, fresh (chopped)
• 2 teaspoons chopped coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon chopped mint leaves
• Some water for making paste

METHOD

In a bowl placed all the ingredients (except the oil for frying) add some water and mix to a smooth paste. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter into oil, cook till golden brown drain on tissue paper and serve hot with ketchup or chutney.

Serves: 6 as a snack
