Singhada Aloo Ki Pakodi- Crisp delicious Gluten free fritters made with chestnut flour and potatoes
singhada Aloo ki pakodi are a good gluten free snack for fasting days. They are easy to make and taste delicious. In any fast grains and pulses are not allowed to consume so millets and gluten free flours like Singhada, Rajgiri, kuttu are used to make paratha, poori and pakoda etc.
There are certain do’s and dont’s of religious fasting which differs from place to place and each ones family traditions. Some rules are followed by almost everyone though, I have posted a detailed info in my post regarding all these –
How to follow religious fast and 80 fasting Recipe
To make singhada ki pakodi I have used boiled potatoes which gave a nice texture to it but if you don’t have boiled potatoes then you can chop raw potato into small thin pieces and add rest of the ingredients with it and follow the recipe and make pakodas’s , they will be equally crip.
You can make same recipe with kuttu flour or Rajgiri flour if you don’t have singhada aata. Singhada aata is rich in calcium, vitamin 6 and vitamin k and E, rich in antioxidant and Minerals. High in fiber so you will not feel bloated after consuming it.it is gluten free. Singhada have cooling properties so good to consume during summer .So I always prefer to use Singhada aata for fasting recipes.
