Instructions
 

  • Hard boil the potatoes.
  • When cool, peel the skin and cut into cubes.
  • In a bowl, mix all ingredients except oil and water. Add water and make a batter of thick consistency.
  • Heat oil in a pan.
  • Dip the potato cubes in the batter and slowly put a couple of them in the pan.
  • Deep fry on medium flame until brown in colour.
  • Serve with tomato ketchup.

Recipe Notes

To get hard boiled potatoes, keep whole potatoes to boil and cook them for only one whistle in the pressure cooker. 

Additional Tips

  • For extra crispiness, double-fry the potato pieces: fry them once at a lower temperature to cook through, then let them cool before frying again at higher heat to achieve a crunchier coating.
  • If you prefer a tangy flavor, squeeze a little lemon juice over the hot Alu 65 just before serving or toss the fried potatoes with a sprinkle of chaat masala.
  • To make this gluten-free, substitute the self-raising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour and add a pinch of baking powder to maintain the light texture.
  • Serve Alu 65 on a bed of sautéed bell peppers and onions tossed in a dash of soy sauce and vinegar for an authentic Indo-Chinese presentation and added flavor dimension.
