Alternative Names: Aloo Ka Bachka, Aloo Ka Bihari Tarua, Aloo Ka Pakora, Aloo Pakora, Aloo Fritters, Potato Fritters

Ingredients for making Aloo Ka Bachka or Aloo Ka Bihari Tarua:

  • Potato cut into thin and round pieces or gol or patla kata hua aloo - 2 potato
  • Gram Flour or besan - 2 table spoon
  • Salt as per taste
  • Turmeric Powder or haldi powder -1 tea spoon
  • Black Pepper Powder or kali mirch powder - 1/2 tea spoon
  • Cumin Powder or jeera powder - 1/2 tea spoon
  • Red Chilli Powder or lal mirch powder - 1/2 tea spoon
  • Green Chilli or hari mirch  - 3-4, finely chopped
  • Ginger or adrak  - 1 inch piece
  • Coriander Leaves or dhaniya patti  - as per requirement or taste
  • Mustard Oil or sarson ka tel  - as per requirement to fry the Aloo Ka Bachka / Pakora
  • Water or paani  - 1/2 cup (or as per requirement), to prepare the batter for making Aloo Ka Bachka or Bihari Tarua

Procedure for making Aloo Ka Bachka or Aloo Ka Bihari Tarua:

  1. Take 2 big size potatoes and wash them them nicely, peel them off and cut them into thin and round pieces.
  2. Transfer these potato pieces to vessel containing water and let them stay dipped in water till you prepare the batter for coating them.
  3. Now take a mixing bowl and add gram flour, chopped green chilli, ginger, coriander leaves and powder spices (turmeric powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder and red chilli powder) and salt to it. Mix all the dry ingredients well.
  4. Now add some water  and mix. Avoid any lump formation.
  5. Then add the remaining water and mix to prepare a medium thick batter. The batter should neither be very thick in consistency nor very thin in consistency. The consistency of the batter should be medium thick so that it forms a uniform thin coating around the potato pieces and does not spread in the oil when the potato piece is put in the hot oil to be fried.
  6. Now heat some mustard oil in a kadhai. Lower the flame when the oil becomes hot for frying.
  7. Then after 1 minute take the potato pieces and dip them into the batter prepared, so that they get coated with it nicely on all sides.
  8. Now take one potato piece, nicely coated with batter and put it in the hot oil for deep frying. If you have a big kadhai then you can fry 3-4 potato pieces at one time.
  9. Increase the flame until medium level and deep fry the potato piece, till it turns golden crispy red on the base side. The flip and fry in the same manner on the other side. (It will take approximately 2-3 minutes to fry one potato piece. You can also check if the potato piece is cooked nicely by poking it with a knife or fork. If the knife or fork comes out clean, then it means that the potato piece is nicely cooked.)
  10. Then transfer the prepares potato fritter (or Aloo Ka Bachka or Aloo Ka Bihari Tarua or Aloo Pakora) to a plate and fry the remaining potato pieces in the same way. Serve them with hot with steamed rice and dal.

आलू का बचका या आलू का बिहारी तरुआ बनाने की प्रक्रिया:

  1. 2 बड़े आकार के आलू लें और उन्हें अच्छी तरह धो लें, फिर उन्हें छील दें और उन्हें पतले और गोल टुकड़ों में काट लें।
  2. इन आलू के टुकड़ों को पानी से भरे हुए पतीले में डाल दें और उन्हें पानी में डुबा हुआ छोड़ दें जब तक कि आप बेसन का घोल तैयार करेंगे।
  3. अब एक कटोरा लें और उसमें बेसन, कटी हुई हरी मिर्च, अदरक, धनिया पत्ति और पाउडर मसाले (हल्दी पाउडर, जीरा पाउडर, काली मिर्च पाउडर और लाल मिर्च पाउडर) और नमक डालें। अच्छी तरह से सभी सामग्री को मिलाएं।
  4. अब थोड़ा पानी डालें और मिलाएं। ध्यान रहे कि एक भी गांठ न बने।
  5. फिर बचा हुआ पानी डालें और मिलाकर एक मध्यम गाढ़ा घोल तैयार करें। घोल की स्थिरता में न तो बहुत गाढ़ा होना चाहिए और न ही बहुत पतला होना चाहिए। घोल की स्थिरता में  मध्यम गाढ़ा होना चाहिए ताकि यह आलू के टुकड़ों के चारों ओर एक समान पतली कोटिंग बना सके और तेल में फैले नहीं।
  6. अब कढ़ाई में थोड़ा सरसों के तेल डालकर गरम करें। तेल जब तलने के लिए गरम होजाए तब आंच कम करदें।
  7. फिर 1 मिनट के बाद आलू के टुकड़े लें और उन्हें घोल में डुबो दें, ताकि वे सभी तरफ अच्छी तरह से इससे कोट हो जाएं।
  8. अब एक आलू टुकड़ा लें और इसे गरं तेल में डाल दें। यदि आपके पास एक बड़ी कढ़ाई है तो आप एक बार में 3-4 आलू के टुकड़े तल सकते हैं।
  9. आंच को मध्यम स्तर तक बढ़ाएं और आलू के टुकड़े को देर तक तलें, जब तक कि यह एक तरफ सुनहरा और कुरकुरा लाल न हो जाए। दूसरी तरफ भी इसी तरीके तलने केलिए इसे सावधानी से पलट दें। (इसमें एक आलू के टुकड़े को फ्राइंग करने में लगभग 2-3 मिनट लगेंगे।)
  10. फिर तैयार आलू फ्रिटर (या आलू का बचका या आलू का बिहारी तरुआ या आलू पकोरा) को एक प्लेट में निकाल लें और शेष आलू के टुकड़ों को उसी तरह तल लें। फिर इन्हें गरमा-गरम चावल और दाल के साथ परोसें।
