Ottu Pakoda

🇮🇳 Indian

Ribbon pakoda, flat crisps that never end. Craggy, crisp and impossible to eat just one of. Plate with fried green chilies and a dusting of chaat masala.

Prep 21 min Cook 15 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Green Chili2, finely chopped
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Ajwain1/2 tsp
  • Red Chili Powder1 tsp
  • Rice Flour1 cup
  • Sesame Seeds1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the rice flour with the gram flour and the flours; add water slowly — the batter should coat a spoon, not run off it.

  2. 2

    Get the oil shimmering but not smoking; steady medium-high is the fritter zone.

  3. 3

    Slide the batter in with two spoons — rough, craggy shapes fry crispest.

  4. 4

    Cook three to four minutes a side until the sizzle quietens, then drain on a wire rack.

  5. 5

    Serve hot with chutney and fried green chilies, dusted with chaat masala if you're feeling street.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
