India-Mashed Potato Puffs (Alu Vadas)

 

Potato Filling;

21/2 cups mashed potatoes, cooled

2 hot green chilies, seeded and chopped

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon brown sugar

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon minced raisins

1 tablespoon minced fresh coconut or desiccated coconut

1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves

 

Batter;

1/4 cup chickpea flour

1/4 cup plain flour

1/4 cup self-raising flour

1/4 teaspoon ground ajowan seeds

1 teaspoon yellow asafoetida powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon salt

about 1 cup cold water

ghee or oil for deep-frying

 

1. Mix the mashed potatoes with the other potato filling ingredients and

roll into 18 balls.

2. Combine the 3 flours, spices, and salt in a mixing bowl. Adding water,

whisk the batter to make a smooth, slightly thick pouring-consistency

batter.

3. Heat ghee or oil, to the depth of 2 1/2 to 3 inches, in a wok or

deep-frying pan over moderately high heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Dip

5 or 6 balls in the batter and carefully slip them into the hot oil.

Deep-fry, turning gently after they float to the surface, for 3 to 4 minutes

or until the puffs turn golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain them on

paper towels. Serve immediately. Yields 6 servings.
