Equipment

  • chakli maker

Ingredients

  • 2 medium Potatoes about 1 ½ cups mashed
  • 1 cup Besan / Gram flour / Chickpea flour
  • to taste Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon Amchur powder
  • ½ teaspoon Chaat Masala
  • teaspoon Asafetida
  • to deep fry Oil

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes until they are very soft and then mash it as fine as possible. I peeled the skin of the potato and then cubed it and boiled it in water until it is very tender. Then I mashed it until it is a very soft.
  • In another bowl, sieve the gram flour / besan to get rid of any lumps.
  • Add the dry masala powders (red chili powder, amchur powder, garam masala, asafetida and chaat masala) to the sieved flour. Also add the salt to the mixture.
  • You could either add the chaat masala in the dough itself or sprinkle it on top after the sev is fried. I like to add it to the dough as I feel the flavor is much better that way.
  • Now add the flour and spices mixture to the mashed potato and start kneading the dough slowly. It will appear a little crumbly at first but will slowly start to come together. I did not need any water to make the dough, but if your appear too crumbly, sprinkle a little water and form a dough. Make sure that the dough is not too soft or too stiff.
  • Grease the chakli /murukku maker well and also grease the sev plate with small holes. I used not the tiniest hole one, but the one with a slightly larger hole.
  • Heat a wide and deep pan with oil to deep fry the Aloo Bhujia.
  • Divide the dough and use enough to go inside the chakli maker. Follow the instructions and squeeze the sev directly into the hot oil.
  • reduce the flame to medium low and let it cook on both sides until it is golden brown.
  • Drain the aloo bhujia in a paper towel lined tray.
  • Once it cools down to room temperature, break it into pieces and store it in a air tight container.
