Ingredients

• 2 medium Potatoes
• 1 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
• 2 tablespoons Rice flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 quarters of a cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8-inch thick rounds. Rinse in cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine besan, rice flour, baking powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.

Step 4

Slowly add water to the dry ingredients while whisking to make a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped fresh coriander leaves and green chili into the batter.

Step 6

Dip each potato slice into the batter, ensuring it is well coated, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Lightly spray each pakora with non-stick cooking spray to help achieve a crisp texture as they bake.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip over each pakora, spray lightly again, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of chutney or dipping sauce.
