Ingredients
- Poppy seeds/posto – ½ cup
- Onion – 1 medium, finely chopped
- Green chilli – 1, finely chopped
- Salt – 1 tsp
- Mustard oil – ½ tsp
- Coconut – 2 tbsp, grated
- All-purpose flour/maida – 3 tsp
- Oil – 1 tsp
- Water – as required
Instructions
- To make poppy seeds and coconut fritters, grind the posto into a fine paste with very little water. You should get a thick paste, not one that’s runny. So add water a little at a time.
- In a mixing bowl, combine posto bata, chopped onion and green chilli, grated coconut, salt, mustard oil and all-purpose flour.
- Make small balls of the posto mixture and flatten them slightly between your palms.
- Heat oil in a flat pan. Place the posto vada on the pan cook on low heat till the fritters turn a warm brown on both sides. It takes about 5-8 minutes for each side to brown.
- Serve lightly crisp Posto Narkel Bora with dal and bhaat or with tea/coffee.
