We may have came around various types of pakodas but this patnam pakoda recipe is one of the oldest traditional snack food that should not be forgotten. This is very easy snack to do with crispy outside and soft insides. Best snack to enjoy in the evening to fulfil our cravings to have a fried snack. Its a old time popular snack belonging to Tamilnadu also called by the name as medu pakoda. Quite different in taste from other types of snack with a good rich crunch and taste of cashews. This

patnam pakoda recipe is very easy to make and taste wise its at its best. I have added ghee instead you can use butter or even oil. Sieving the bengal gram flour will be better so that we will have no lumps but its optional.You can increase the green chillies more or even chilli powder according to our likings. Don’t knead the dough too much the stage should be like we must be able to form round shapes that’s it. Cute ball shaped pakoda when served piping hot along with tea or coffee is irresistible. Do try this special authentic snack for sure and you will not be disappointed at all.

Notes

Instead of ghee you can use butter or even hot oil.
The flame while frying should be correct so that it cooks through the pakoda.
Spiciness can be increased according to your need.
The dough should not be kneaded for long just when they form the dough to make balls is enough.
