To begin making Anar & Aloo Pakora Recipe, mash aloo in a bowl and add the dry pomegranate seeds, jeera, chopped green chillies, salt, red chilli powder, chaat masala and mix till combined.
Pinch smaller portions and make small balls which can fit into paniyaram pan.
Now in a separate bowl, mix besan, add salt, and 2 teaspoons of oil and mix with water and make a thick batter.
Now in this batter add the aloo-pomegranate balls.
Now in a deep frying pan, heat oil. Once it is hot, add the aloo kofta in it and fry on all sides by turning them around when required to fry till crisp and golden brown..
Alternatively, you can heat a paniyaram pan and put the koftas in individual paniyaram cavities and fry them with the help of a drizzle of oil around them, and turning them to brown evenly. Since the aloos are pre boiled, these paniyaram fried pakoras would be perfect to try.
