Servings 20 potato balls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium Potatoes boiled, peeled and grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic grated
  • 2 tablespoon Cornflour
  • 1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes
  • ½ teaspoon Chilli Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Oregano
  • Salt as needed
  • Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Boil the potatoes until soft. Cool them well, peel the skin and grate the boiled potatoes.
  • Add the grated potatoes to a bowl. Add grated garlic or garlic powder, red chilli powder, salt, garam masala powder, oregano, cornflour, and chilli flakes to the potatoes. Mix well to a soft dough. The mixture should be smooth and not sticky.
  • Shape the dough into small balls. If the mixture feels too wet and sticky, add a little more corn flour (½ teaspoon at a time) until it holds shape easily.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Carefully place the balls in hot oil, a few at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry on medium heat, turning occasionally so they turn golden brown evenly on all sides. This should take 4–6 minutes for small balls.
  • When golden brown and crisp, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Serve hot with ketchup, green chutney, or a dip of your choice.
