I just love the flavour of methi leaves it add such a lovely aroma to the dish which I just adore wanted to do something new with it so came up with the idea of doing pakoda this time using my two favourite ingredients:)......Aloo and methi is such a good and great combo together I just love the texture of the pakoda outside being very crispy and inside a very nice smooth texture ...just loved it !!!!!!!...So do try this simple yet delicious pakoda:)
Ingredients
2 Potatoes peeled & grated
1/2 cup chopped methi leaves (Fenugreek leaves)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp red chilli powder
2 tbsp gram flour
salt to taste
1/2 cup vermicilli (crushed)
oil for deep frying
Method
- Spread the vermicilli on a plate and keep aside
- In a bowl add all potato, methi leaves, cumin seeds, gram flour, red chilli powder, salt and mix well
- Sprinkle water to make it sticky
- Make small balls out of it and roll it in vermicilli
- Heat oil in a pan and deep fry it till golden brown and crisp, drain on a kitchen towel and serve hot with ketchup
