Method
0/5 doneStep 1: Put 1 ⅛ lb potatoes in a bowl of water, then drain.
Step 2: Put the wet potatoes in a bowl and mix in 2 tsp red chilli powder, 2 tsp lemon juice and 2 tsp salt.
Step 3: Add 1 ¾ oz maize flour, 2 tbsp wheat flour and 2 tbsp gram flour (besan) and toss well, so the flour sticks to every cube.
Step 4: Heat oil over a medium-high heat (350°F). Fry immediately, in small portions, for 5–6 minutes, until golden and crisp, keeping the cubes separate. If you leave the coated potatoes standing, the mixture turns watery. Drain on kitchen paper.
18 minStep 5: Serve hot with chandu bhajiya chutney.
