Kuttu Ke Pakore

Kuttu ke pakore or pakode are deep fried pakoras (fritters) made with kuttu ka aata (buckwheat flour) and potatoes. This is a quick and easy recipe. These pakoras are full of taste and crunchiness. These delicious and mouthwatering pakoras are one of the most popular kuttu aata recipe for Navratri. It is specially made on fasting days like Navratra, Janmashtami or Shivratri. It is so crispy and delicious that you can make any time even without fasting. Kuttu ke pakode are also known as falahar.

If you're planning to have a fast during the auspicious festival of Navratri, then kuttu ke pakode are perfect for you. We use only kuttu and singhada flour on fasting day. You can make so many delicious dishes with kuttu flour like poori, paratha, tikki and vada. Kuttu flour (buckwheat flour) is a good source of fiber, and rich in minerals.

Kuttu pakoras are prepared with kuttu flour, sendha namak (Rock salt), green chilli and black pepper. There is no need to add so many spices in vrat food. The batter has to be thick like a pakoda batter. In this navratri recipe, sendha namak is used instead of regular salt which is also known as rock salt. If you are cooking on regular day, you may sprinkle some chaat over them.

You can serve the pakoras with coriander chutney and curd. You can eat them as a snack on regular days along with a hot cup of tea.
