Ingredients
For the Semolina Crisp
- 1/2 cup Semolina also known as suji
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil for cooking the semolina
- 1/2 cup Water
For the Potato Mixture
- 4 Potatoes medium-sized, boiled and grated
- 1 tsp Chaat Masala
- 1/4 cup Coriander freshly chopped
- 2-3 Chilies finely chopped, adjust to taste, green
- 1 tsp Dry Mango Powder dry mango powder
- 1-1.5 tsp Salt to taste
For Frying
- 2-3 cup Vegetable Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Semolina Crisp
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan and add water. Once boiling, slowly add the semolina, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and cover for 2-3 minutes to allow it to steam and puff up.
Prepare the Potato Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, puffed semolina, chaat masala, coriander, green chilies, amchur powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to form a soft dough. If needed, add a little water to adjust consistency.
Shape and Fry the Potato Fingers
- Lightly grease your hands with oil. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into long, finger-shaped sticks. Ensure the oil is hot enough for deep frying.
Deep Fry the Potato Fingers
- Carefully place the potato fingers into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve
- Serve the crispy potato semolina fingers hot with your favorite chutney or dip. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Potato Fingers
- For extra crispy fingers, allow the semolina to puff up fully before mixing with potatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fingers.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
- Experiment with different dips and chutneys for varied flavor profiles – tamarind chutney, mint chutney, or even a spicy yogurt dip would work beautifully.
