Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Besan (Chickpea Flour)
- 0.25 cup Rice Flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chat Masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Once grated, squeeze out the excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with besan, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, chat masala, carom seeds, and salt.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the mixture and mix everything to form a dough. If needed, add a little water, but be cautious as the potatoes may still contain some moisture.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Take a portion of the dough and put it into a sev maker fitted with a small holed plate.
Press the sev maker directly over the hot oil, moving in a circular motion to form a thin layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the Aloo Bhujia until it is golden and crisp, flipping occasionally. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Once cool, store the Sugar-Free Aloo Bhujia in an airtight container. Serve as a snack or a teatime treat.
