- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 1 potato, washed,peeled and sliced in thin concentric circles
- water, as required
- salt, as required
- oil, to deep fry
-
For the batter
- 1 1⁄2 cups gram flour (known as "besan" in Hindi)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
directions
- Wash, peel and slice a medium-sized potato into thin concentric circles.
- Make sure you slice the potato thin and not thick.
- Pour 2 1/2 cups of water in a bowl.
- Add salt to taste (2-3 tsps) and mix well.
- Add the potato slices to this salted water.
- Mix well.
- Keep aside for 10 minutes.
- In a medium sized bowl, make a thick batter with your besan flour, red chilli powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of water.
- Now drain out the water from the potato slices.
- Dip the slices of potato in the gramflour batter.
- Allow the slices to be coated with the batter on both sides.
- Heat oil in a frying pan while you are doing this.
- Once the oil is hot, and the slices are ready, drop them gently into the oil.
- I ALWAYS make it a point to lower the flame/heat when adding the slices of potato to the hot oil.
- I dont want ANY MORE spillovers or kitchen fires!
- Let the slices fry in the oil.
- Once the slices are golden brown on one side, turn over and allow them to fry the same way till they are golden brown on the other side.
- Remove from the pan once fried and drain the excess oil on a clean paper kitchen towel.
- Transfer to a serving plate.
- Serve immediately (HOT) with Tomato ketchup and white/potato bread.
- You can also serve this with green chutney.
- Enjoy!
- NOTE: The secret of making this very well is to slice the potato thin and not thick.
- If you slice the potato thick, then, the potato will not cook and remain raw even once fried!
