Ingredients
- 2 large onions, finely chopped
- 2 cups of gram flour
- 2 tablespoons of turmeric
- 2 teaspoons of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
- 2 large potatoes, boiled, peeled and grated
- 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of water
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
Directions
- Start by prepping the ingredients by finely chopping the onion and cilantro. Boil and peel the potatoes and grate them with a cheese grater.
- In a large bowl, mix together the gram flour, turmeric, chili powder and cumin powder. Mix together until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Add the potatoes, onion, cilantro, oil and a cup of water to the bowl. Mix everything together to make a paste.
- Heat a large pan to medium-high heat.
- Using a spoon, scoop small amounts of the pakora paste and drop them into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the pakora will not be crisp.
- Fry the pakora for 3-4 minutes, flipping them over half way through to ensure they are evenly cooked.
- When the pakora are golden brown, remove them from the pan and place them onto a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- Sprinkle with some salt and pepper, if desired (though this is optional - you don’t want to overdo it with the salt and pepper for the toddlers!).
- Serve the Kadi pakora hot with your favorite chutney and watch your todders devour them.
