Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium potatoes
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
- 1/4 cup Rice flour
- 3/4 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, round slices approximately 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth, thick batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon without dripping too quickly.
Add the chopped coriander leaves and baking soda to the batter and mix well.
Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat.
Dip each potato slice into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated.
Carefully place the coated potato slices in the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.
Fry the potato slices for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bateta wara from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot as a snack or appetizer with chutney or sauce of your choice.
