Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes
- 2 cups Gram flour (besan)
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Black salt
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Ajwain (carom seeds)
- 2 cups Oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them finely.
Squeeze the grated potatoes to remove excess water and then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, gram flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, black salt, regular salt, asafoetida, and ajwain.
Mix all the ingredients well until a dough-like consistency is achieved. Add a little water if necessary to bind the mixture.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches the desired temperature for frying.
Fill a sev maker with the potato mixture using a plate with small holes.
Once the oil is hot, carefully press the potato mixture into the oil through the sev maker, forming thin strands. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the bhujiya until it is golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the fried bhujiya using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture.
Once all the bhujiya is fried, let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container to retain its crispiness.
