5 potatoes

2 medium size onions

1 clove garlic

1 small piece ginger

1 tsp red chilli powder

1 tsp garam masala

Salt to taste

200-300 gm gram flour(or as needed for the coating)

Procedure:

Boil the potatoes and keep aside to cool down. When cold, peel the potatoes and mash them. Make a paste of onion, garlic and ginger. Mix the spice paste with mashed potato thoroughly. Heat a little oil in the pan. Fry the mashed potato until it turns golden brown. Make a smooth batter of gram flour in water. Make small round-shaped pakoras out of the potato mash.
