Mint-flavoured potato mash dipped in a typical flour batter, coated with powdered beaten rice, and deep-fried till temptingly crisp. Hear the crunchy poha crackle as you drain these on absorbent paper, and be tempted to take a bite even before you finish frying the remaining balls! indeed, this is a delectable snack that has both a traditional and modern hue, satisfying both young and old. Serve the aloo kurkure balls hot, with sweet and sour sauce or a chutney of your choice.

Hi. I wanted to check - is there an alternative for maida in this receipe - can I use bread crumbs or aara aata?

Tarla Dalal    Hi Binju, You can coat them with breadcrumbs instead of rice flakes. An alternative for maida can be cornflour. You can add some in the mixture and also coat with cornflour and deep fry. It won''t give a similar texture though.

These are potato cutlets with a twist... and a wonderful twist! its really crispy and crunchy because of the coating and the aloo is chatpata and soft! Loved the flavours. It doesn't feel heavy in spite frying! :)
