ALOO BHAJA (Fried potatoes)

Ingredients :

Potato 1 small (cut into round layers)
Besan (Gramflour)/ Rice powder 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Turmeric powder ½ tsp
Jeera powder ½ tsp (optional)
Water as required
Oil to deep fry

Method :
Make a batter of besan / rice powder, salt, turmeric powder and jeera powder with water. The batter should be thick enough to coat the potatoes thinly. Heat oil in a wok or kadahi and deep fry the potatoes. Serve it with rice, dal and curry of your choice.

PN: You can also use different vegetables along with / instead of potatoes like cauliflower, raw banana, onion, pumpkin, pumpkin flowers, bitter gourd (karela), etc.I prefer rice powder to gramflour as it adds a crispiness to the veggies fried .
