Beat the batter for a minutes to make it fluffy. Cover and rest for 5 minutes. 4. Wash and peel the potatoes and slice into thin roundels and dip in a bowl of water ,else they will turn dark due to oxidation. 5. Now add hot oil ,chopped green chilies and fresh coriander in the batter and mix well. 6. Heat enough oil in a wide deep pan n medium high. 7. Take 4-5 potato slices and add in the batter ,take each slice and gently slide in the oil. Don’t over crowd the pan. 8. Fry the pakora’s from both the sides till they are crisp and golden in color. 9. When done ,drain the fried pakora’s on a paper napkin to absorb the extra oil. 10.
