Farali aloo Patties is a versatile dish, an ideal tea-time snack or a side dish for lunch or dinner. The recipe divides into two steps. The first step involves stuffing using coconut, roasted peanuts, cashew nuts, raisins, green chili, ginger paste, fresh coriander, and sugar.
The second step involves preparing a mashed potato mixture with rock salt and arrowroot. Take some potato mixture, flatten it, and place the coconut stuffing in the center. The edges of the potato are brought together in the center and sealed, forming a round shape. The farali pattice is then rolled in arrowroot and fried on a medium flame until golden brown.
These farali pattice go well with green chutney or peanut chutney. For binding, arrowroot powder is used in this recipe as it is allowed to eat during fasting. Alternatively, corn flour is the best option to eat on regular days.

FAQS
What is Farali Pattice?
Farali pattice is a popular Gujarati snack, a Farali recipe eaten during fasting, Ekadashi, or Navaratri. It is an easy and quick snack made with potatoes stuffed with coconut, roasted peanuts, cashew nuts, raisins, green chili, ginger paste, fresh coriander, and sugar.
Can I use cornflour to make this farali pattice?
Yes, you can use corn flour for binding. Use arrowroot powder if making this recipe during fasting or Navratri.
Why my farali pattice is soft and becomes soggy after frying?
Perfect oil temperature is critical in frying. Lukewarm oil will lead to absorbing more oil, making the pattice soggy. If the oil is too hot, it will turn brown quickly from the outside and uncooked, soft from the inside. Fry the pattice in medium hot oil, and a few at once. Do not overcrowd.
Can I skip coconut in the farali pattice?
The main stuffing in this farali pattice is the coconut and the nuts; the combination of sweetness and nuttiness is perfect. I recommend using fresh coconut, as it enhances the taste and flavor of the pattice. If you can’t get your hands on the fresh coconut, desiccated coconut also works fine. This pattice is always a crowd-pleaser. You can try it and do not skip the coconut in this recipe.
