Once it is hot, add the aloo kofta in it and fry on all sides by turning them around when required to fry till crisp and golden brown..Alternatively, you can heat a paniyaram pan and put the koftas in individual paniyaram cavities and fry them with the help of a drizzle of oil around them, and turning them to brown evenly. Since the aloos are pre boiled, these paniyaram fried pakoras would be perfect to try.Serve Anar & Aloo Koftas Recipe (Pomegranate & Potato Fritters) along with Dhaniya Pudina Chutney and Date & Tamarind Chutney and a cup of Adrak Chai.
