Ingredients
For the Pakoda Filling
- 100 gm Chow Mein Noodles boiled until tender, cooked
- 1/2 cup Rice Flour
- 2 medium Potatoes peeled and mashed
- 2 tsp Garlic Paste
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tsp Chili Sauce
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Rice Vinegar
- 2 tsp Tomato Ketchup
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For Frying
- 2 cup Vegetable Oil or enough for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Chow Mein
- Boil chow mein noodles according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
Make the Pakoda Filling
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, garlic paste, red chili powder, chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, tomato ketchup, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Shape and Coat the Pakoda
- Take a handful of the potato mixture and form it into a small patty. Press a small amount of rice flour onto the patty to coat both sides.
Freeze for Firmness
- Place the formed pakoda on a plate and freeze for at least 10 minutes to firm them up. This prevents them from falling apart during frying.
Wrap with Chow Mein
- Remove the pakoda from the freezer. Wrap each pakoda with a small portion of the cooked chow mein noodles, ensuring it's fully covered.
Deep Fry Until Golden Brown
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the pakoda to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the crispy pakoda from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with extra tomato ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Chow Pakoda
- For extra crispy pakoda, you can double-coat them with rice flour.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spice level to your preference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the pakoda from becoming soggy.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
