How to make Kachi Keri Ke Pakode
- Step 1
Wash and peel the Totapuri raw mangoes. Slice them into thin strips lengthwise.
- Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine besan, rice flour, salt, and enough water to make a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the mango slices.
- Step 3
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Step 4
Dip each mango slice into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and carefully drop it into the hot oil.
- Step 5
Fry the pakoras until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Step 6
Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

FAQS
Can I use any other type of mango for this recipe?
Totapuri mangoes are ideal for this recipe due to their tangy flavor, but you can experiment with other raw mango varieties if Totapuri is not available.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, this recipe is already gluten-free as it uses besan and rice flour, which do not contain gluten.
What can I serve with these pakoras?
These pakoras pair well with green chutney, tamarind chutney, or even ketchup. A hot cup of tea is also a perfect accompaniment.
Can I prepare the batter in advance?
It is best to prepare the batter fresh to maintain its consistency. However, you can mix the dry ingredients in advance and add water just before frying.
Can I bake these pakoras instead of frying?
While traditionally fried, you can try baking them at 375°F (190°C) until crispy, but the texture may differ slightly.
