1 tablespoon Coriander seeds

half tablespoon Cumin seeds

half tablespoon Fennel seeds

2 tbsp Oil

8 pieces Garlic Cloves

2 tsp Kasuri methi

5 pieces Potatoes

1 tablespoon Dry mango powder

1 piece Onion

quarter cup Coriander

17 pieces Green Chilies

Tips

Ensure the batter is the right consistency for a crispy coating.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine gram flour, salt, carom seeds, and baking soda. Gradually add water while whisking to form a smooth batter. Ensure it’s not too thick or thin. Let the batter rest.

Coarsely grind coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds.

Heat oil in a pan over high flame. Add the coarsely ground spices and asafoetida. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Add powdered spices, kasuri methi, and a splash of hot water. Stir for 1-2 minutes.

Crush boiled potatoes and add them to the pan.

Mix well, then add dry mango powder and salt.

Mash and mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed. Cool the filling, then mix in chopped onion and fresh coriander.

Wash and pat dry the green chilies. Make a slit, cut off the tip, and deseed using a spoon. Fill each chili with the prepared filling.

Heat oil to 165°C (320°F). Dip each stuffed chili into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Transfer to a sieve to drain excess oil.

Notes
