Ingredients
For the Potato Fritters
For the Yogurt Topping
For Garnishing
- 1 tablespoon Coriander freshly chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon Mint freshly chopped leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder red
Instructions
Prepare the Potato Fritters
- Boil the potatoes until tender. Cool, peel, and mash thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, buckwheat flour, rock salt, black pepper, and cumin powder. Mix well to form a soft dough.
Prepare the Yogurt Topping
- In a separate bowl, whisk the plain yogurt with rock salt and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Fry the Fritters
- Heat the oil or ghee in a deep pan over medium heat. Take small portions of the potato dough, shape them into small flat patties, and carefully place them in the hot oil.
- Fry the fritters until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through. Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assemble and Serve
