Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 0.5 cup Cornflour
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cups for frying Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thick wedges.

Step 2

Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, chickpea flour, ground turmeric, ground cumin, red chili powder, and salt.

Step 4

Slowly add water to the mixture while continually stirring to form a smooth batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter.

Step 5

Add the potato wedges into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully drop a few battered potato wedges into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Fry the potatoes until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon.

Step 9

Remove the fried potatoes with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat the frying process with the remaining battered potato wedges.

Step 11

Once all the potatoes are fried, sprinkle them with fresh cilantro and drizzle with lemon juice.

Step 12

Serve the Gluten-Free Fried Aloo hot as a snack with chutney or as a delicious side dish.
