Kuttu Ke Pakore(Vrat Ke Pakode, Buckwheat Flour Fritters) is a delicious deep-fried snack made for vrat (Hindu fasting) days. Serve these with a tangy mint coriander chutney and plain yogurt for a hearty meal.
Mix kuttu atta, rajgira atta, potatoes, rock salt, cilantro, and green chilies in a large mixing bowl.
Add water slowly (approx ¾ cup) and mix to make a thick pakoda-like batter.
The consistency of the batter should be very thick and droppable. It should be like that of mashed potatoes.
Note - The batter to fry the pakoda should be of the right consistency. If it looks too thin, then add some more flour and if it looks very thick, then add a few tablespoons of water.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over high heat.
When the oil is hot, drop small pakoda in the oil using your fingers or a small spoon and fry on high heat until they are crispy and golden brown in color. Keep stirring while frying at regular intervals for even frying.
Drain the pakora on a plate lined with kitchen tissue.
Fry the pakoras in 3-4 batches and do not overload the pan. Kuttu Pakora are perfectly cooked when they are dark brown in color and crispy from outside. They won’t taste good if not fried properly.
