Steps In Making
- Peal and wash the potatoes and now grate them.

- In a large bowl add the potatoes, cumin seeds, green chillies, ginger, salt and rajgira flour. Mix till everything is well combined.
- Add a tablespoon of water if needed. It should have a thick ball like structure, so you can easily make the pakodas.
- Heat oil in a kadai and now take some pakoda mixture in between your fingers and put them in the oil.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes or until it gets a nice golden brown texture from each side.
