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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, asafoetida, cumin seeds, and salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add chopped fresh coriander leaves to the batter and mix well.
Step 5
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat for frying.
Step 6
Take a potato slice and dip it into the prepared batter, ensuring it's well-coated.
Step 7
Carefully drop the batter-coated potato slice into the hot oil. Repeat with more slices, frying them in batches as needed.
Step 8
Fry each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with chutney or yogurt as a dip.
