Potato Pakoras for Vrat
Most of us love pakoras! Now you can enjoy potato pakoras on a fasting day too!!
This recipe came to me in the time of need. I had invited my friend over for a tea along with her parents. Just half an hour before they arrived, I came to know that my friends mom was fasting that day and won't be able to eat the dishes I had prepared for them. I could offer her fruits but that did not feel enough. It was too late to soak Sabudana for khichadi or thalipeeth.
Suddenly I remembered that my Mami-in-law had prepared Potato pakoras for vrat just 2 days after our wedding as it was Ashadhi Ekadashi. I was a new bride so I was not allowed in the kitchen. So did not actually watch her making the pakora but had definitely enjoyed them a lot at that time. I thought of recreating the same. To tell the truth, I did not know which flour Mami had used. Rajgira or Singada? I was trying to recreate this recipe almost 18 years after eating it. I had Rajgira flour at home so used that to prepare the batter and the pakoras were a big hit!
Sharing the same recipe with you all. Hope you all will try it and like it.
