Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 1 1/2 cups potato (peeled and grated (squeeze out excess water with your hands))

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, rice flour, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala powder, salt, and cumin powder.
  • Gradually add water, stirring until a thick batter forms (like a soft paste).
  • Fold in the grated potato, ensuring it is well-coated with the batter.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot (about 350°F). Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

- Ensure oil is at the correct temperature (350°F / 175°C) for crispy pakoras.
- Squeeze excess water from grated potato for a crispier texture.
- Fry in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
