PANGOJI

A SKP speciality, Pangoji are deep fried plump fritters which are traditionally served with tea in the evening….. Can be served as starters too.

INGREDIENTS : 4 potatoes ( medium sized), 2-3 green chillies, 1/4 cup coriander, 1-2 tsp jaggery, 3/4-1 cup coconut water, 1 cup wheat flour, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, salt to taste, oil for frying.

DIRECTIONS : Boil the potatoes…… When cool, crush the potatoes……. Chop the green chillies and coriander……. Add chopped green chillies, chopped coriander, jaggery, wheat flour, turmeric powder, baking soda and salt to crushed potatoes…..Mix thoroughly adding coconut water little by little….. Cover and keep aside for at least two hours….. Fry the resultant batter like fritters…… Serve hot.

NOTE : Increase/ decrease green chillies and jaggery according to taste…… Add enough coconut water to form batter of fritter consistency…….. Goes very well with green chutney.

One can turn these into pancakes by adding more coconut water……Though not the traditional version, it actually comes out very well….. Serve hot chutney.
