Steps

25 mins

1

In mixing bowl, take the grated potatoes and pumpkin.
2

Add green chillies to it. Then add the spices. Cinnamon is best buddy of pumpkin.. They work like magic together. Trust me. Mix everything.
3

Now, add in the besan remember, to put more if needed, the batter needs to be a little more tightly binded. As pumpkins release water so add water if needed other wise keep aside for 5 mins and you will get a perfect batter.
4

Now, mom's trick, in a kadhai take oil of your choice (I used mustard oil cuz I love its sharp taste in my pakodas) and when its heated properly add a lil bit of it to your batter. Mix.
5

Now, release the pakodas carefully in the hot oil. Keep an eye so that they dont burn, press them a lil when half done. Take them out on tissue.
6

Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of them and Serve hot, with your favourite sauce or chutney, I served it with Kasundi sauce and peri peri sauce.. both went really well with it. Enjoy!

I find zen in cooking ... it relaxes me .. it doesn't bounds me .. I can create.. I can play with flavours.. no boundaries .. It provides me a sense of freedom.. not only flavours matter to me ...but different ingredients.. different cultures related to different cuisines intrigues me too ..FOOD is my passion and love♥️ both, I feel connected and in sync with this world when M around food .. 💗💗💗
