Non-Fried Batata Wada

I'm Enjoying my stay @ Chennai. Enjoying my Mom's Cooking. Shopping, Shopping and Shopping.

Recently bought Tarla Dalal's Non-Fried Snacks CookBook. It has got some great recipes, that can be baked/cooked on a Tava instead of Deep Frying. Me and My Sister, tried Batata Wadi recipe from that book. Came out great.



Here comes the recipe.



1/2cup Besan

1/4 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp chilli powder

a pinch asafoetida

1 tsp oil

Salt to taste



2 green chillies, finely chopped.

1 tsp  ginger-garlic paste

1 tsp mustard seeds

a pinch asafoetida

2 cups boiled, peeled and mashed potates

1/4 tsp turmeric

1 tbsp choped coriander

1 tsp lemon juice

salt to taste

Oil for cooking



Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl, add enough water to make a batter of pouring consistency.  Keep Aside.



Heat oil in  a small pan and splutter mustard seeds, add curry leaves and asafoetida and saute for few seconds.  Add Green chillies, ginger-garlic paste and saute again for few seconds.

Add Potatoes, turmeric powder, coriander, lemon juice and salt and mix well. Remove from the flame and cook.

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into flat round wadas.





Dip the wadas in the batter and place them on a greased non-stick pan.

Cover and cook on a low flame for 3 to 4 minutes.  Turn upside own, cover again and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, using lil oil.



Remove the lid and cook the sides holding the wadas with your fingers till they turn golden brown.

Serve hot. Enjoy with sauce.
