Step 1
Heat some oil in a deep fryer or a large pan until it reaches about 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix together the gram flour, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin seeds, and baking powder. Slowly add lukewarm water to the dry ingredients, about half a cup at a time, stirring until you get a thick batter that's similar to pancake batter.
Step 2
Dip each potato slice into the batter, making sure it's fully coated. Carefully drop the coated potatoes into the hot oil in small batches so they cook evenly. Fry them for 2 to 4 minutes, turning once, until they’re golden and crispy. Once cooked, transfer the potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Let them cool for a minute before serving.
Great Ways To Serve
Serve alongside naan or chapati for a complete meal. It also pairs well with yogurt or a fresh salad to balance the spices. This dish can be enjoyed as a side or a snack with your favorite chutney.
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan to keep the potatoes crispy rather than using a microwave, which can make them soggy. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change after thawing.
