Chop potato and pumpkin into small and thin pieces,like we do to make poha.
In a bowl add chopped potato, pumpkin, green chilies, fresh coriander and all the spices.
Mix and add kuttu atta and mix all together.
Add just enough water (aaprox 1 and 1/4 cup) to make a medium thick batter.
Mix it well, it would be a slightly sticky batter.
Now heat enough oil in a deep and broad pan.
Drop spoon full of batter in the hot oil or use your fingers to drop the batter.
Deep fry the fritters on medium heat to a nice golden colour.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter .
Drain the fried kuttu pakoras on a paper napkin and serve hot.
Serving suggestions-
Serve hot with tangy green chutney and yogurt.
NOTE-
1-Instead of using both the vegetables ,you can make this either with potato or pumpkin.
2-Don't make big size pakora's otherwise they will not become crisp.
