Ingredients
 

  • 300 grm or 2 medium size potatoes
  • 3-4 spicy green chilli

  • 5-6 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 cup or 2 medium size onion slices
  • ½ cup coriander leaves

  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pinch of hing
  • 1 tsp ajwain
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder

  • ½ tsp black pepper powder
  • 2 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 cup besan
  • 2-3 tbsp water or as required
  • 2 tbsp hot oil

Instructions

  • Cut the potatoes into small pieces. Wash the potato pieces with water to remove the extra starch.
  • Sieve the water and dry the potato pieces.
  • In a mixer jar, add green chili, ginger, garlic cloves, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds. Grind it into a coarse paste. Keep it aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the potato pieces, ground chili-garlic paste, onion slices, coriander leaves, white sesame seeds, turmeric powder, salt, hing, ajwain, red chili powder, dry mango powder, cumin powder, and black pepper powder. Mix well.
  • Then add rice flour and besan gradually. Mix well.
  • Wet your hand slightly and make portions of the mixture and slightly flatten them with your palm.
  • Then heat oil in a tawa and drop the mixture with your fingers (refer to video).
  • Fry on medium-low flame, stirring occasionally and cook until it becomes crispy on both sides.
  • Lastly, drain off the snacks on a wire rack and enjoy with hot tea and fried chili.

Notes

  • Cut the potatoes into small pieces so that they cook easily.
  • Mix the masala with your hands so that it absorbs into the potatoes and water is released.
  • You can add corn flour instead of rice flour.
  • Add gram flour (Besan) gradually and coat the potatoes with it.
  • Sprinkle a little water on the batter, but do not add more water to it.
  • Fry the nasta on medium flame and press it slightly so that it cooks crisp on both sides.
  • Aloo besan snacks taste great when they are slightly spicy and served hot.
