Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium-sized potatoes
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 cups Oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Keep them submerged in water to prevent browning until ready to use.
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, asafoetida, cumin seeds, and salt.
Add water gradually to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter with a medium-thick consistency. It shouldn't be too runny or too thick.
Add chopped fresh coriander leaves to the batter and mix well.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat for frying.
Take a potato slice and dip it into the prepared batter, ensuring it's well-coated.
Carefully drop the batter-coated potato slice into the hot oil. Repeat with more slices, frying them in batches as needed.
Fry each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with chutney or yogurt as a dip.
