There’s something magical about biting into a hot plate of Aloo Pakora. This Bengali classic, made from thinly sliced potatoes dipped in a seasoned chickpea flour batter, is fried until golden and crisp. At our Bangladeshi-owned Indian restaurant in Minneapolis, we make them the way families back home have for generations—simple, comforting, and full of flavor.
Nothing pairs with pakora quite like chai. On a cold or windy Minnesota afternoon, a cup of steaming chai and a plate of fresh Aloo Pakora feels like a warm hug. This tradition of tea and pakora is more than just a snack—it’s a way families gather, talk, and share comfort food that feels like home.
At Curry in a Hurry, our Aloo Pakora is always made fresh and served with our house chutneys. Some love the tang of tamarind, others reach for the refreshing green chutney, and a few swear by the bold onion chutney. However you dip, you’ll find yourself going back for one more bite. They’re also completely vegan-friendly, so everyone at the table can enjoy them.
And Fridays are extra special here. Our Pakora Friday Platter brings together both Aloo Pakora and Daal Pakora, served with all three chutneys for just $10. It’s a perfect way to share with friends or to treat yourself at the end of a long week.
So the next time you’re craving comfort food in Minneapolis, come by and try our crispy, golden Aloo Pakora. Whether you pair it with chai, enjoy it on its own, or order the platter to share, this Bengali favorite is sure to brighten even the coldest day.
