Pattanam Pakoda recipe | Easy snacks recipes

Pattanam pakoda | pattinam pakoda is an instant version of pakoda, generally available in road side tea shops in Tamilnadu. I haven’t seen this in Chennai, but seen in many shops in my hometown Madurai. I have no clue of how the pakoda is made but got the idea about the recipe through an youtube video of a TV channel. Generally we make pakodas with kadalaimaavu |besan, but this pattanam pakoda is made using chutney dal flour | pottukadalai flour. This is an instant one we can make for guests and it doesn’t require any side dish or pre preparation. Try out this yummy pakoda and let me know how it turned out.

Notes:
  1. Even after 2-4 hours of making, the pakodas remain crisp outside and soft inside.
  2. Do not make the dough too hard, else it will give cracks while frying.
  3. These pakodas didn’t consume oil much, it was similar to the usual onion pakoda we make with the besan flour.
  4. I added 1 green chili, it was medium spicy.
  5. You can add finely chopped mint leaves too.

  1. Where did you get the broad mortar and pestle? I am in chennai. I cld see stone, wooden and steel m & p in several shops but not this broad as yours, hence the question.
