Classic Cookbooks: Delicious 'Dry' Potatoes
Karhi is my mum's favourite food. Naturally, it is at the very top of my (very short!) list of least-favourite-and/or-thoroughly-despised-foods. However, a few hints, the deep frying really isn't tooo hard, the trick is getting the batter the right consistency. I seem to remember my mum sometimes would put aloo (potato) pakoras in instead, which are generally easier to fry up as they're more analogous to American 'fritters.' Too, there are several different styles of karhi (Sindhi, Gujurati and Punjabi) and the Sindhi style typically calls for veggies as well as dumplings, so you may want to give that version a try and leave out the dumplings!
And aloo this style was one of my favorite lunchbox treats in school, wrapped up in cold pooris. Delish.
