instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and grating the potatoes. Soak the grated potatoes in water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.

    2

    Finely chop the onion and green chili. Mix them into the grated potatoes.

    3

    In a large mixing bowl, add the soaked and drained grated potatoes, chopped onion, green chili, chickpea flour, rice flour, cumin seeds, garam masala, and salt.

    4

    Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture holds together. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little water, but make sure it is not too watery.

    5

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, take small portions of the mixture and flatten them into fritters.

    6

    Fry the fritters in hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

    7

    Remove the fritters from the pan and drain any excess oil on paper towels.

    8

    Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.

Health impact

While these fritters are a delicious treat, they should be enjoyed in moderation due to their frying method, but they do provide a good source of carbohydrates and fiber from potatoes.
