Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1.5 cups Chickpea flour (Besan)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 cup Fresh coriander leaves
- 2 finely chopped Green chilies
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until fully cooked and tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth.
Step 3
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, half of the salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped green chilies and fresh coriander leaves, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, prepare the batter by mixing chickpea flour, the remaining salt, baking soda, and gradually adding water to form a smooth and thick batter.
Step 6
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Divide the potato mixture into small balls about the size of a golf ball. Flatten slightly to form discs.
Step 8
Dip each potato disc into the chickpea flour batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and gently slide it into the hot oil.
Step 9
Fry the bateta wara in batches until they are golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 10
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 11
Serve hot with a side of chutney or sauce of your choice.
