Pakora are a delicious flavour-packed Indian snack. Made with grated potato, onion, coriander and fragrant spices, they’re perfect for an afternoon treat or to accompany curry night.
Ingredients
800 grams Agria potatoes, washed and grated
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup finely chopped coriander
150 grams plain flour
2 teaspoons garam masala
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil for deep frying
To serve:
Mango chutney
Method
Mix the grated potato, onion and coriander in a large bowl.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, garam masala, cumin, turmeric and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the flour mixture to the potato and with clean hands massage the mixture together until well combined. If necessary, add a splash of water to loosen it.
Heat a large pot with 8cm of vegetable oil to 180°C.
When the oil is hot, work in batches and carefully lower tablespoons of the batter mixture into the oil and fry for 5-6 minutes or until the pakoras are crisp and golden-brown and the vegetables have cooked through. Remove, drain on paper towels and keep warm.
