How to make Aloo Bhajia

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin round slices about 3 mm thick.
Put the slices in a bowl of cold water so they do not darken while you prepare the batter.
Mix besan, rice flour, turmeric, red chilli powder, carom seeds and salt in a bowl.
Add water gradually and whisk into a smooth, thick batter with no lumps.
Heat oil in a kadai over medium heat until a drop of batter sizzles and rises quickly.
Pat the potato slices dry, dip each one in the batter to coat evenly.
Fry the coated slices in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot with green chutney or tea.

Serves 4 · prep 15 min · cook 20 min. Taste and adjust salt and spice to your family.
