Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes boiled,peeled and mashed
  • 1 1/4- 1 1/2 cups gram flour
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida
  • Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons hot oil
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Boil,peel and mash the potatoes very well. There should be no lump at all. Heat oil for deep frying.
  • Add gram flour, cumin seeds, salt, chili powder and mix well.
  • Take 2 tablespoons of hot oil and add to this potato flour mixture. Mix well.
  • Now start kneading, no need to water. Even without water the dough will be little sticky and it is fine.
  • Take a murukku press with big round holes. Apply oil inside the achu (as the dough is sticky). Load the achu with dough.
  • Press into hot oil and deep fry. Once pressed keep the flame in medium and deep fry till the sizzling sound ceases. Turn the pressed sev once in a while gently while frying.
  • Allow to cool thoroughly and store potato kara sev in a airtight container.

Notes

1. If the dough is very sticky after kneading add 1/4 cup more gram flour.
2.You can add sesame seeds instead of cumin seeds
3. You can sprinkle some chaat masala powder after frying if you prefer.
4. Do not add water to the flour mixture.
