Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 100 grams Chickpea flour
- 100 grams Chickpeas (cooked and mashed)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 small Green chili (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 10 leaves Curry leaves (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 120 milliliters Water
- 500 milliliters Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Boil the potatoes until tender, peel, and mash them in a large bowl.
Step 2
In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Step 3
Add grated ginger, chopped green chili, asafoetida, and curry leaves. Sauté for 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the mashed potatoes and chickpeas to the pan. Mix well.
Step 5
Add turmeric powder, salt, and chopped coriander. Mix thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, then shape into golf-sized balls.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, combine chickpea flour and water to make a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Heat the oil for frying in a deep saucepan over medium heat.
Step 9
Dip each potato ball into the chickpea batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 10
Carefully place the coated balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 11
Remove the bateta vadas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 12
Serve hot with chutney or sauce of choice.
