Ingredients

• 2 cups Boiled and mashed potatoes
• 8 pieces Whole wheat bread slices
• 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 1 piece Green chili, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0 as needed Vegetable oil, for shallow frying

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes with green chili, ginger, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 2

Take two slices of bread at a time. Spread a generous portion of the potato mixture evenly onto one slice of bread. Place the second slice on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread and mixture.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, carom seeds, and water to form a smooth batter. Ensure that the batter is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding more water or chickpea flour.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Dip each potato-stuffed sandwich into the chickpea flour batter, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.

Step 6

Carefully place the batter-coated sandwich into the hot oil. Shallow fry each side until golden brown and crisp, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove from the pan and drain excess oil on a paper towel.

Step 8

Repeat the frying process with the remaining sandwiches.

Step 9

Serve hot with mint chutney or a side of vegetable salad.
