Potato Pakoras, India

Boil or bake 3 to 4 potatoes, peel, place in a bowl,

and mash with a potato masher. Add to taste: salt,

sugar, crushed ginger, garlic, and chili. Also add

lemon and sesame seeds.

In a small pan, heat 2 to 3 tbsps. oil over medium

heat until hot. Add a tbsp. of mustard seeds, some

chopped curry leaves and chopped cilantro. Cover pan

with a lid until all the popping of the mustard seeds

has stopped. Remove from heat and add oil/seeds

mixture to potato mixture and combine.

Shape potato dough into little balls and let sit for

about an hour (or can be refrigerated overnight at

this point.)

Batter for balls: Combine some garbanzo flour and a

tsp. rice flour. Add salt, red chili powder and

crushed dry coriander to taste. Add about 2 tbsps. of

oil and then a little water, to make into a thick,

pancake-like batter.

Dip potato balls into batter, then fry in hot oil

until golden brown.
