  3. Add the following spice powders - ⅛ teaspoon or 2 pinches turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder, ½ teaspoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder and 1 generous pinch of asafoetida (hing).
  4. Then add ½ teaspoon finely chopped ginger, 1 green chili, (finely chopped) and 5 to 6 curry leaves, finely chopped.

  10. Mix well.
  11. Add ½ teaspoon sugar and mix again.

frying arbi ke patte ke pakode

  1. Heat oil for deep frying in a pan or kadai.
  2. Check a small portion of the batter in the hot oil. If it comes up gradually and steadily on the surface of the oil, the pakoras can be fried. Fry pakodas on a medium flame.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the batter in medium hot oil and begin to fry pakodas.
  4. When one side is light golden and crisp, then turn over and fry the other side.
  5. Turn over a couple of times more and fry the pakodas till they are crisp and golden.
  6. Remove with a slotted spoon draining the excess oil.
  7. Place the fried arbi patta pakodas on kitchen paper towels. Fry the rest of the pakodas in the same way.
  8. Serve arbi ke patte ke pakode hot or warm with any chutney or dip of your choice.

Notes

  • You can increase the quantity of green chilies and red chili powder to make spicier pakodas.
  • It is best to use smaller and fresh colocasia leaves for this recipe. This is to avoid the itchiness that can be caused by the mature, larger leaves.
