Batata Vada

Recipe:

Ingredients:

For filling:

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Mustard seeds - 2 tsp

Oil

Hing - pinch of it

Green chilly - 4

Potato - 4 small

Salt - to taste

Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp

Curry Leaves - 5-6 chopped

Coriander Leaves

Lemon juice - 1 tsp

For Frying:

Besan/Gram Flour - 1/2 cup

Water - as need to make a thick paste

Salt - to taste

Red chilly powder - 1/2 tsp

Oil - for deep frying

Preparation:

1. Boil the potatoes and mash it thoroughly. I usually don't prefer lumps of potato, so I boil it for a long time and mash it very well.

2. Take oil in a pan, add mustard seeds and let it splutter.

3. Next add cumin seeds, hing powder, green chilly and let it cook for a while.

4. Add curry leaves and mashed potato and mix well.

5. Add turmeric powder, lemon juice, coriander leaves and mix well. Take it off the stove.

6. Make small balls of this filling.

7. Take gram flour, water, salt, red chilly powder and mix well. This should be of semi-thick consistency so that it can hold onto the filling.

8. Heat oil for frying.

9. Once the oil is hot enough, dip the filling in the gram flour batter and deep fry it.

Batata Vada is ready to be served with Chutney.
