Ingredients
- 10 Potatoes medium, peeled and sliced into thin coin shapes
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 cup Gram flour
- ¼ teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 pinch Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ginger minced
- ¼ teaspoon Green chili pepper chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- Freshly chopped coriander leaves
- 1 cup Water
- ¼ cup Olive oil
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes into slices. Make sure not to make them too thick. So they don't burn from the outside.
- Combine the flour, gram flour, masala spice, cumin, ginger, green chili pepper, garlic paste, paprika, salt, and coriander in a large bowl, and mix everything well.
- Add the water slowly to see when the batter is too liquid or needs more water. It should be like a pancakes batter.
- Dip the sliced potatoes in the batter, one at a time. Make sure they are completely immersed, and the coat is evenly distributed.
- Heat your vegetable oil in a deep frying pan.
- Drain your potato slices off extra batter, and then carefully dip them into the hot oil.
- Fry the bhajias until there are golden brown. For a few minutes.
- Use your skimmer to remove them from the oil and place them in a paper-lined bowl to drain off extra oil.
- Serve them with kachumbari.
