When cold, peel the potatoes and mash them. Make a paste of onion, garlic and ginger. Mix the spice paste with mashed potato thoroughly. Heat a little oil in the pan. Fry the mashed potato until it turns brown. Make a smooth batter of gram flour in water. Make small round-shaped pakoras out of the potato mash. Heat oil in a pan. Fry the pakoras until brown. Try to keep the heat low or medium to fry evenly. Drain excess oil on a kitchen towel. Serve hot with your choice of dip, chutney or ketchup.

    For variation: Kimar chop
    Take 200-250 gms mutton kima and 200 gm potato and the rest of the ingredients will remain the same. Boil kima separately with little salt . turmeric powder and ginger paste. Dry the water off and mix it to the other ingredients to make chop.
