  • Hi Shilpi, Thank you so much for your tip about rice flour – such a useful ingredient! I’ve recently been making mazagran, traditional French individual filled potato pies and I had trouble with the potato sticking to the board and rolling pin until I discovered the wonders of rice flour! I will be making your pakoras – they look delicious! All the very best from sunny Normandie, Sue
