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.
