Aloo khosha bhaja in Bengali – India

Serves 1-2

Directions

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.
