Recipe Notes

Rice flour gives crispiness.

Additional Tips

  • For extra crunch and a lighter texture, add a pinch of baking soda to the batter just before dipping the potato slices.
  • If you want to infuse additional flavor, try adding finely chopped green chilies, ajwain (carom seeds), or a handful of chopped coriander leaves to the batter.
  • For an even crispier coating, double-dip the potato slices by dipping them in the batter, letting the excess drip off, then dusting lightly with dry rice flour before a second dip and frying.
  • To keep bhajiyas crisp for a longer time, place them on a wire rack or perforated plate after frying, instead of on paper towels, to prevent steam from softening the crust.
