Instructions
Prepare the Semolina
- In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Gradually add the semolina, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the semolina is cooked through but not overly dry. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Add the cooled semolina, chopped coriander, salt, and oil. Mix thoroughly until well combined and a slightly sticky dough forms.
Shape and Cook the Fingers
- Shape the potato mixture into finger-like shapes, about 1/2 inch thick. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
- Arrange the fingers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Serve
- Serve the crispy potato and semolina fingers immediately with tomato ketchup or your preferred dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or other spices to the potato mixture.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- For crispier fingers, you can lightly spray them with cooking spray before air frying.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for best results.
