Aloo khosha bhaja in Bengali – India
Serves 1-2
1. | In a large bowl, add the chickpea flour and some water to make a batter. The batter should not be too runny or too thick but just gooey enough to have a little bit of flow to it. Adjust the proportions of water and flour if need be to get the right consistency. |
2. | Once you have the batter, add the poppy seeds, the chilies, turmeric and salt and mix well. |
3. | Heat oil in a pan. Ideally, the fritters should be deep fried, but you can shallow fry it in a flat faced pan as well. |
4. | Once the oil is hot enough, dip several of the peels at once in the batter, scrunch them to make a ball-like shape, and add to the oil. Fry till golden brown on all sides and edges. |
5. | Finally garnish the fritters with chopped cilantro and enjoy with a steaming cup of tea or coffee, have it with some rice and daal. |
