Ah! Potato lollipops? I was intrigued and surprised when I came across this recipe. And last Saturday afternoon after my 'power' nap, I was all charged up to try this new recipe or rather experiment.
It is a very simple recipe and can be made within 20 minutes, provided you have boiled potatoes at hand. It makes an excellent evening snack especially during the rainy season. Kids and adults will love these tangy lollipops!
Make small pieces of bread slices in a wide vessel.
Add mashed potatoes to this dish. Add amchur powder, chilli powder and salt. Mix well to form a firm dough.
Make a batter with maida and water. The batter should not be too runny not too thick. It should be of the right consistency to coat the lollipops.
Make a large lemon sized ball of the potato-bread dough. Insert this ball onto an icecream stick
Tip: Making an oval shape will allow the dough to balance well onto the ice cream stick.
Make all the lollipops and place these on a plate with the sticks jutting towards the outer side of the plate.
Heat oil for frying in a small kadhai/wok, prepferably in an oval shaped one. Add oil upto half of this vessel.
Dip the lollipops into the maida batter (use a conical shaped shallow cup) to coat them well. Immediately coat these lollipops with
Tip: Place the bread crumbs in a flat plate and roll the lollipops to coat.
Dip the lollipop into the oil and rest the uncoated tip of the lollipop on the edge/rim of the kadhai. Let it fry for 2-3 minutes.
Now turn the loliipop to the other side in a similar manner, so that it gets cooked on all sides.
Drain these lollipops onto a paper tissue.
