Potato Bhajji (Aloo Pakoda)

Ingredients
Gram Flour - 1 cup
Rice Flour - 2 tbsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tbsp
Red Chilli Powder - 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil to fry

Potatoes - 3 or 4 (Big cut into round slices after peeling them. Alternately, you can keep the Potato cover without peeling.)

Procedure
In a bowl take Gram flour, Rice flour, Baking soda, Red Chilli Powder, Salt and mix well by adding sufficient quantity of water (It should be semi-fluidy paste). Keep aside for soem time.
Take the potatoes and peel them (if you don't want to have the cover) and cut into round slices. Soak them in salted water and keep for half an hour. Remove the Potato slices from the water and let dry.

Now heat the oil in a frying pan. Dip the potato slices in the Gram flour paste and heat in oil. Fry it till golden color. In a plate take the kitchen paper and remove the excess oil after frying. Make all your potato bhajji's like this.

Author's Note
Similarly you can prepare Banana Bhajji's (Banana Pakoda's), Karela Bhajji, Kidney Beans Bhajji, Spinach Bhajji, Pan ke Patte Bhajji, Brinjal Bhajji and so
on. These Bhajji's go very well with Tomato Ketchup (Preferably Hot 'n Sweet).
