Aloo pakoda recipe - How to make potato pakoda

Aloo pakoda recipe - Potato pakoda with dosa batter and gram flour is another delicious dish that I make often whenever I have dosa or idli batter in stock in my fridge. The potato pakoda is usually prepared with besan or gram flour. But, this pakoda has a twist with dosa batter and it is more on the softer side rather than crispy as I had used fermented batter. Adding besan is totally optional, but it provides good binding and frying becomes very easy and pakoda doesn't stick in the bottom.

Sabudana batata thalipeeth recipe - Sago potato thalipeeth

Sabudana batata thalipeeth recipe - Sabudana Thalipeeth is a substitute to the deep fried Sabudana Vada. Sometimes, I avoid deep frying and stick to the healthy version of shallow frying.  Though it is shallow fried taste wise there is not much difference between shallow fried thalipeeth and deep fried vadas. Thalipeeth tastes great when eaten hot with chutney. Those who are not on fasting can also eat this thalipeeth for their breakfast. This tasty and filling thalipeeth is usually served hot with curd and peanut chutney. It can also prepared using green chilly instead of  red chilly powder.
