DAHI PAKORIAN

Dahi Pakorian is a yogurt based chat containing boiled chopped potatoes with cotton soft silky pakorian.Pakorian is basically tiny drop size fritters made with gram flour or plain flour, available easily in all asian grocery stores.You can also add chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber and boiled chickpeas to the mixture.This is one of the recipe which is frequently prepared in my house.
