- 1/2 kg potatoes (boiled and mashed)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon qasoori methi
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1/2 tablespoon green chili (chopped)
- Oil (As Requires)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (maida)
- 2 tablespoons corn flour
- 2/3 cup water (Adjust to make a smooth)
- Prepare the Potatoes:
Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them until smooth, with no lumps.
- Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, chopped onion, cumin seeds powder, coriander powder, 1/2 tsp of black pepper, chaat masala, red chili flakes, red chili powder, 1 tsp of salt, qasoori methi, garlic paste and green chili chopped. Mix well until the mixture binds together.
- Shape the Snacks:
Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small cylinders, balls, or flat discs (your choice).
- Rest the Mixture:
Let the shaped snacks rest for about 5 minutes. This helps them firm up before frying.
- Slurry Preparation:
In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornflour, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Gradually add water while whisking to make a smooth slurry. It should be neither too thick nor too watery.
Dip each shaped potato snack in the slurry, making sure it’s fully coated
- Frying Method:
Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 180°C. Carefully drop the shaped snacks into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like tomato ketchup, mint chutney, or garlic mayo.
