Notes

For masala
cool down boiled potatoes completely so there will be no moisture in them.
mash potato evenly so there are no big chunks of potato in the masala.
For batter
the batter has a medium thick consistency and coated the backside of the spoon very well.
whisk batter in one direction so air particles incorporate into it.
rest batter for 5-7 minutes so gram flour is properly soaked.
For batata vada
fry vada on medium flame.
For garlic chutney
Grind chutney on the pulse for its coarse or semi-fine mixture.
