Pakoras

I hope I have spelled but here is another recipe.

I believe it is of Indian or Pakistani origin, but, no matter what, when they are around, I cannot keep my hands of them.

 

It is a simple, yet delicious snack.

 

Ingredients

 

Potatoes

Gram flour

Onions

Water

Oil

 

The amount of ingredients depend on how many Pakoras you want to make.

 

Method

 

Boil some potatoes in water as is usually done, and when they are cooled cut them into slices.

Slice the onion, and mix with the gram flour (also known as chickpea flour, garbanzo flour, or besan) and water until you have a half runny structure.

 

Dip the potato slices into the gram flour mix,heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes in the oil until nice and crispy.

 

They make a delicious snack or starter.

Interesting recipe, I would love to try it out. One question would the onion burn in the oil? Just a thought.

If it is done properly, there is no need to worry about that.

Don't forget, you shallow fry the Pakoras, not deep fry.
Just make sure the oil is hot enough, and they only have to fry until they are crispy, which should not take too long.
