Scale
Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes, peeled & grated
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 fresh red chilli, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
- 2 tablespoons corn flour
- 2 tablespoons gram flour (besan)
- Salt to taste
- Oil for pan frying
Instructions
Preparation
- First, wash, peel and grate the potatoes in a mixing bowl with enough water. Soak the potatoes in water for 5 minutes.
- Then drain the water and wash it once. Squeeze out the excess water by pressing them with your palm.
How to make Pancakes
- Take washed grated potatoes in a mixing bowl along with cumin seeds. Black pepper powder, green chilli, corn flour, besan, onion and salt to taste.
- Combine everything well to form a pancake mixture.
- Heat the pan. Add oil and put 1 scoop of the mixture.
- Spread it slightly to form a flat patty of medium thickness.
- Roast for about 2-3 minutes from both the sides until crisp and golden brown in colour.
- Once roasted, transfer the pancakes on a kitchen paper towel, to remove the excess oil.
- Similarly prepare the remaining pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes hot with green chutney, tea or coffee.
Notes
- Squeeze the potato well from water using a muslin cloth or on a metal sieve, else you need to end up adding more besan to this recipe.
- Spread the pancake mixture with your hands. It is the easiest way to form small disks. If you feel that the potato mixture is sticking, wet your hands slightly then shape the patties.
- For frying them, you can use clarified butter or ghee is best for a rich and delicious buttery pancake.
- Additionally, add grated cheese to make it flavourful for your kids.
