Provided by Priyanka S

Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 potatoes, [medium-sized], boiled, peeled and mashed
2 cups flour
6 cloves garlic
1 ginger, 1 in (2.54 cm)
8 green chiles
1 teaspoon red chili powder
¾ teaspoon turmeric powder
4 curry leaves, finely chopped
coriander, cilantro
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
¼ teaspoon asafetida
baking soda
½ teaspoon carom seeds
oil, deep fry
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Stuffing:
  • Take 4-5 medium-sized chilies, 5-6 large cloves of garlic, 1 inch of ginger and a handful of coriander in the grinder. Grind all ingredients roughly.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to it. When cumin seeds and mustard seeds start crackling add asafoetida[hing], curry leaves and turmeric powder in it.
  • Stir it well and add roughly grinded ginger-garlic-chili-coriander paste in it. Cook it for 1 minute on low flame with continuous stirring. Add this mixture to your mashed potatoes carefully. Also, add salt to taste fully incorporate to blend flavors. Set mixture aside.
  • Coating:
  • Take 2 cups of gram flour in a large bowl. Add carom seeds, ¼ tsp turmeric powder, red chili powder and salt to taste.
  • Add water in small parts and mix well to make a smooth batter.
  • Frying:
  • Take a stuffing bowl and make golf ball-size balls of potato mixture from earlier.
  • Take sufficient oil in a pan or kadhai for deep frying potato vadas. Let it heat on a high flame.
  • Once the oil is hot, add 1 tablespoon of hot oil from a pan in the batter carefully. And mix well. Also, add 1 pinch of baking soda to the batter and mix properly.
  • To check if the oil in a pan is ready for frying or not, add a small part of the batter in a pan using a spoon. If the batter comes up immediately in a pan, the oil is ready for frying.
  • Add potato stuffing ball in batter, coat the batter properly with the help of a spoon or hand and add it to the frying pan. [While adding vadas in a frying pan, the flame should be low].
  • Fry the vadas gently on medium flame. Do not overcrowd the pan. Add only 3 vadas at a time in a medium-sized pan or kadhai.
  • Do not stir immediately after adding vadas to the pan, let it set for some time. And fry until they turn into golden colour.
  • Fry all vedas as mentioned above.
  • Fry green chilies in the same oil for serving with vadas. Add a pinch of salt on fried chilies to taste.
  • Serve the potato vadas with fried chilies and peanut chutney with pav.
