Aval (Poha) Pakora

Its was raining all day at my place and had to do something to brighten it up.Nothing like having pakoras with a hot cup of chai on such a dull day. I headed out to the kitchen and made this simple dish !!

Ingrediens:

Aval(Poha) - 2 cups
Onion - 1
Green Chilly - 1 or 2 as per taste
Besan - 2 Tbs
Ginger - a piece
Curry leaves
Salt to taste

Procedure:

1. Wash the poha and set aside for 5 minutes.
2. Cut the onion,ginger and green chillies into small pieces.
3. Mash the poha completely adding hot water as required.
4. Once fully mashed add onion,green chillies,ginger,besan,salt and curry leaves and make into a dough.This should NOT be too watery and will hold together.
5. Heat oil in a pan.
6. Using the dough pinch small pieces with your hand directly into the oil.
7. Deep fry both sides and remove on to a paper towel to soak excess oil.

Serve hot with a steaming cup of tea !!
