Ingredients
For the Jakhia Sabji
- 1 medium Potato cubed
- 1 medium Bell Peppers capsicum, julienned
- 1 Chili green, sliced
- 2 tsp Jakhia seeds
- 2-3 Curry leaves
- 2 tsp Chili flakes
- 1 tsp Curry powder
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tbsp Oil as needed
For the Rice Flour Pancakes
- 1/2 cup Rice flour
- 1/2 cup Semolina rava
- 1/2 cup Gram flour besan
- 2 tsp Jakhia seeds
- 2 tsp Chili flakes
- 1 tbsp Oil as needed
Instructions
Make the Jakhia Sabji
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the Jakhia seeds and let them splutter. This releases their aroma and flavor.
- Add the curry leaves and chili flakes to the pan. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cubed potatoes, julienned bell pepper, sliced green chili, curry powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
- Cover the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the potatoes and bell peppers are tender-crisp.
Make the Rice Flour Pancakes
- In a bowl, whisk together the rice flour, semolina, and Bengal gram flour. Gradually add water to form a smooth batter, slightly thicker than crepe batter.
- Heat oil in a separate non-stick pan over medium heat. Add Jakhia seeds and chili flakes; let the seeds splutter.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan, spreading it thinly to form a pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to ensure even cooking.
- Serve the crispy rice flour pancakes hot with the Jakhia Sabji.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Crispy and crunchy texture.
Expert Tips
- For extra crunch, try double frying the chicken. Fry once as directed, then let it rest for a few minutes before frying again until golden brown and extra crispy.
- Experiment with different seasonings in your breading mixture. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper can add a delicious kick.
- To ensure even cooking, make sure your chicken pieces are similar in size. You can use a meat mallet to flatten thicker pieces.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover fried chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place the chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
