Print Recipe

Crispy and flavorful Indian-style potato and onion fritters made with a spiced gram flour batter, perfect as a snack or appetizer served with chutney.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup gram flour (besan)
  • 2 tablespoons rice flour
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (maida)
  • 1–2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
  • 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as needed to make batter
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes. Soak them in water to remove excess starch.
  2. Grate or thinly slice the onion and add to a mixing bowl along with chopped green chilies, coriander leaves, turmeric, red chili powder, chaat masala, cumin powder, ajwain, asafoetida, and salt.
  3. Drain the potatoes and add them to the bowl with onions and spices. Mix well.
  4. Add gram flour, rice flour, and all-purpose flour to the mixture. Gradually add water to form a thick batter that coats the vegetables well.
  5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the batter mixture gently into the hot oil, forming small fritters.
  7. Fry the fritters on medium heat until golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning as needed.
  8. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  9. Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.

Notes

Soaking and rinsing the potatoes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fritters. Adjust the batter consistency with water or flour to ensure it coats the vegetables well but is not too runny. Fry on medium heat to cook the fritters thoroughly without burning.
