To begin making the Alugadde and Mentye Pakoda Recipe, peel the potato and grate them into a bowl.

Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl. Add water little at a time, to make a thick pakoda batter. Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste.

Preheat the Kuzhi Paniyaram Pan on medium heat; add a few drops of oil into each cavity. Spoon the Alugadde and Mentye Pakoda batter into the cavity and pan-fry them until it is browned and crisp on both sides. You can optionally add just a little more oil to give it additional taste.

Proceed the same way with the remaining Alugadde and Mentye pakoda Batter.

The process of cooking pakoda in a pan preserves nutrition and the addition of fenugreek leaves giving an added taste and nutrition for this classic teatime snack.

Arrange the Alugadde and Mentye pakoda on a serving platter, sprinkle some chaat masala, place some pickled onions by the side and serve it as a snack or as an appetizer for parties.

Serve the Alugadde and Mentye Pakoda Recipe along with a hot cup of Masala Chai Recipe and Roasted Tomato Pasta Sauce Recipe.
