Farali Aloo Pudla Potato Pancakes These are lightly spiced potato pancakes, typically eaten during fasting periods, where meats and grains are not permitted. They are a little bit sour, a tiny bit sweet, and very tasty. They are spiced with amchu powder, which is dried, powdered mango. The original recipe asked for ginger-chili paste, but as I'm not a big fan of chili, I decided to use garlic instead, I think it was a good call. I skipped the cilantro because I didn't have any available. This recipe asked for oil as a binder, and while it worked, it made the fritters very oily. I think I'd skip it next time and use egg if needed.
