Wash and peel the potatoes, cut into thin slices approximately half centimeter. Add to a bowl with cold water while we prepare the rest.
-
To make the batter: In a large bowl whisk together flour, besan, salt, baking soda, paprika, chilli, and Kashmiri chilli powder . Add water a little bit at a time and stir until a smooth dough consistency is not too thick, not too runny according to the video. Add chopped coriander and stir until combined.
-
Heat oil in a deep wok over medium-high heat. Remove the potatoes from the cold water and pat dry the excess water with a kitchen towel, drench one of the slices at a time into the batter let the excess batter drip with the help of the side of the bowl then drop slightly into the hot oil and fry until golden brown for 4-5 minutes then gently flip with a fork to fry on the other side for another 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Serve hot with mint chutney, ketchup or any hot sauce desired.

Note: This is a very unique potato fritter that is very similar to our Mauritian "Gâteau Pomme de Terre". Adding spices makes it a bit different in taste and it is very important to cut the potatoes into thinly slices because that's the beauty of this recipe.
