METHOD

Wash and pressure cook the potatoes in high flame for 3-4 whistles adding required water.Peel the skin and mash it well. To this mashed potatoes,add finely chopped mint leaves,all the spice powders,salt & lemon juice. ( use crushed cumin seeds if u don’t have roasted cumin powder) Mix well.Powder the rice flakes slightly coarse & take it in a plate.Set aside.Mix maida,little salt and water & prepare the batter for outer covering.The consistency of batter should be such that it should be able to coat the balls well.Do not make the batter very thick or thin.It should fall like a ribbon. Make big lemon sized balls out of the potato mixture and coat it in the maida batter.Again roll it in the ground poha which u kept in the plate.Do it twice for better binding. Heat oil to deep fry.Add a pinch of ball.If it rises immediately,oil temperature is just right.Now drop the balls in batches and deep fry them till golden brown. It tastes crispy outside and soft inside!! Enjoy with tomato sauce !

Note

Grind poha to a slightly coarse powder to make the balls coat well.Deep fry in medium to high flame.As we are using boiled potatoes,these balls gets cooked quickly.So remove when the outer cover changes to golden brown. U can use bread crumbs if u don’t have poha in hand. U can add 1/4 tsp of ginger garlic paste to the above masala. Make sure u have prepared enough maida batter & ground poha to cover the balls well.It takes more quantity.
