Spicy Potato Puri Delight: A Crispy Homemade Snack to Savor – By Malsha – eLanka

Ingredients (Makes 12):

• 2 well-boiled potatoes
• 1 cup atta flour
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon finely crushed uluhal
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed (approximately 1/3 cup)
• 1 teaspoon oil
• Finely chopped coriander leaves (optional)

Instructions:

1. Start by mashing the well-boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl.
2. Add turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds, garam masala, salt, uluhal, and atta flour to the mashed potatoes. Also, incorporate a teaspoon of oil into the mixture.
3. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients to ensure an even distribution of spices.
4. Gradually add water, a little at a time, to form a non-sticky dough. Adjust the water quantity as needed; it’s typically around 1/3 cup.
5. Shape the dough into small balls and flatten them to resemble papads.
6. Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully deep fry the flattened potato puris until they turn golden brown.
7. Remove the puris from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
8. Serve the potato puris with a dip or alongside your favorite broth.

Optional: Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves for added freshness.

Enjoy your homemade potato puris as a delightful and flavorful snack!
