Ingredients

  • 2 boiled potatoes
  • 1 cup gram flour | besan
  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • Salt as needed
  • 2 tsp hot oil
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes or pressure cook till it becomes soft.
  • When cool peel the skin and very nicely mash it without any lumps.
  • In a wide bowl, add besan, red chilli powder, garam masala, salt and lemon juice. I grated the potato but it got struck while pressing in oil. so nicely mash it without lumps.
  • Mix it well. Sprinkle little water and knead this into a pliable dough. do not worry if it is sticky.
  • Using the Omapodi | Sev achu put the dough inside the murukku presser, and start squeezing in hot oil.
  • This gets cooked very fast, so take it out as soon as it is done. the sizzle sound will subside once it is cooked.
  • Be careful not to get it too brown.
  • Repeat the same process for the rest of the dough.
  • Break them and store this in an airtight container.

Notes
