Poha Pakodas… the taste is such that you get tempted again and again, double the pleasure of eating hot food in winters, easy to make at home

When you feel like eating something different and crispy with evening tea or for breakfast at home, then Poha Pakodas prove to be a great option. Poha is usually used to make upma or namkeen, but in the form of pakodas it gives a new and tasty experience, which everyone will appreciate. It is a simple deep-fried snack made with flattened rice (poha), boiled potatoes and some basic spices, which is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

To make Poha Pakoda, it is important to mix the ingredients in the right proportion. For this, it is necessary to have basic things like Poha (thick variety), onion, boiled potatoes, ginger paste, green chillies, green coriander, curry leaves, Kashmiri red chilli powder, celery, dry mango powder, salt and roasted peanuts.

To ensure the crispy texture of the pakodas, the ingredients have to be combined and kneaded into a dry, soft dough. The most important tip is not to soak the poha in too much water; Just clean it by washing it in a strainer with enough water. Absorbing too much moisture makes the batter soggy, which can cause the pakodas to become sticky instead of soft and round.

The method of making Poha Pakora is simple: First of all wash the Poha and take it out in a deep bowl. Then mix onion, potato and all the dry spices well. Add salt as per taste and prepare small balls from this mixture.

After this put these balls in hot oil. After adding the pakodas as per the capacity of the pan, fry them by turning them until they become golden brown from both the sides. Prepare crispy poha pakodas from the entire mixture in the same manner. Serve hot pakodas with green chutney or tomato sauce and enjoy its spicy taste in winter.
