Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (for frying, plus more as needed) Vegetable oil
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add the flour, green chili, cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive dough.
Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a flat cake about 3 inches in diameter.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the beaten egg, one with breadcrumbs, and one empty plate for the breaded cakes.
Dip each potato cake into the beaten egg, then coat it in breadcrumbs. Place the breaded cake on the empty plate. Repeat for all potato cakes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry the potato cakes in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the spiced potato cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a crisp salad.
