Fritters ready to eat
INGREDIENTS
boiled, peeled and mashed potatoes 3 big
onion 2 medium size chopped fine
green chili finely chopped to taste
salt to taste
curry leaves finely chopped 1 tsp ( optional)
ajwain ( carom seeds) 1 tsp
rice flour 2-3 tbsp
rava / semolina 1-2 tbsp
besan 1 heaped tbsp
hing little
oil for frying
red chili pdr. to taste ( if one wants it spicier)
METHOD
in a bowl, add mashed potatoes, all the ingredients except oil, mix well.
I didn't need water, as I found it to be the correct consistency, in case you find it too hard, sprinkle some water to get the correct consistency, it shouldn't be too sticky to roll.
Once the oil is hot deep fry till brown, drain and serve hot.
It can be eaten plain, or serve with chutney / ketchup.
Note- adding rava is optional, you can add some breadcrumbs instead.
I prefer to add more rice flour than besan, as it makes you fries crisp, also easier to digest.
Adding carom seeds is optional, as it aids digestion and prevents gas formation, which is common when one eats potatoes !
