Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
- 2 tablespoons Rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 quarters of a cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8-inch thick rounds. Rinse in cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine besan, rice flour, baking powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.
Slowly add water to the dry ingredients while whisking to make a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Stir in the chopped fresh coriander leaves and green chili into the batter.
Dip each potato slice into the batter, ensuring it is well coated, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray each pakora with non-stick cooking spray to help achieve a crisp texture as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip over each pakora, spray lightly again, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of chutney or dipping sauce.
