Recipe 📖
Once the guests like the food served, they will relax and loosen up. If cocktails are important in a gathering, so are the snacks served. I always take a lot of pride in my snacks. I enjoy making them but what I enjoy even more is watching them being relished or devoured by my guests! That gives me immense satisfaction as a chef. It is always nice when your guests enjoy the food made by you and are very vocal about their feelings. Don’t you agree? We love cooking with potatoes and have quite a few recipes using it. There is Aloo Bharta, South Indian Potato Fry, Mashed Potato Waffles, Potato Dosa, Potato Stuffed French Loaf, and Potato Cheese Sandwich. Since this spicy Indian besan snack recipe also called for potatoes and had a unique way of making it, I just had to share this vegan party snack with you. Potatoes - We need the non-starchy kind of potatoes here. I use Russet, gold or red potatoes. Spices and herbs - cumin seeds, chilly powder, turmeric, ajwain, or carom seeds (helps for better digestion), green chillies (or serrano peppers), and cilantro. Besides these ingredients, you will also need any vegetable oil for frying.
Use a silicone spatula when cooking the chickpea batter. Use it to scrape the sides and keep stirring it continuously. Keep the flame low to medium. Freezing the squares for a couple of minutes is a key step. Do not skip it. When shallow frying, do not be in a hurry to flip it. Once the edges turn light brown, flip them carefully.
