Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 250 grams Gram flour (besan)
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 500 ml Cooking oil
- 50 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Boil the potatoes in their skins until they are soft. Let them cool, then peel them and mash them thoroughly to avoid any lumps.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with gram flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, asafoetida, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3
Add lemon juice and gradually add water to form a stiff, non-sticky dough.
Step 4
Heat the cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Fill a sev maker (a traditional Indian equipment for making sev) with the prepared dough using a medium-sized nozzle.
Step 6
Carefully squeeze the dough into the hot oil, creating thin noodle-like fritters. Fry until they turn golden and crispy, flipping occasionally with a slotted spoon.
Step 7
Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Step 8
Allow the aloo bhujia to cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
Step 9
Serve as a snack or munch with your tea or coffee.
