Potato Pakora

Thinly sliced potatoes, dipped in a batter and deep fried. 

These slices are crisp on the outside with a soft potato centre. 

A yummy Indian-style snack that you can expect your friends to compliment you on! 

This batter can be used to make onion rings or other vegetables like courgette (zucchini)  and brinjal (aubergine).

Ingredients:

2 large potatoes, thinly sliced
125ml flour125ml + 15ml rice flour (rice powder)125ml + 15ml gram flour (chick pea flour)
A pinch of salt
A dash of white peeper
5ml of chilli flakes
375ml soda water, chilled (highly recommended to be chilled)
sunflower oil for deep frying

Chopped coriander to garnish
Method:

In a bowl mix the flour, gram flour, and rice flour. Add the soda water, salt, white pepper, and chilli flakes. Whisk just to obtain a batter. It should have the consistency of thick cream.

Heat the oil in a fryer to an adequate frying temperature. Test with a drop of batter; the batter should sizzle and begin to cook.

Dredge the potato slices in the batter one at a time and fry in batches until golden on both sides. 

Serve garnished with chopped coriander or with a spicy dipping sauce or chutney.
