What you need:

The base of this snack is boiled potatoes mixed with a rice flour paste. Readymade rice flour is not required, just soaked rice.

A teaspoon of baking powder can be added for extra crispiness.

How to prepare:

• Grate three boiled potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl.
• In a mixer, grind soaked rice with a little water to form a smooth paste. Add it to the grated potatoes and mix well.
• Add spices of your choice: Italian/pizza seasoning like oregano and chilli flakes are recommended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Add finely chopped veggies such as tomato, carrot and green capsicum.
• Finally, add ginger garlic paste and baking powder. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
• In a glass, add a transparent, airtight plastic bag such that one corner is inside. (You can also use a disposable icing bag if you have one). Spoon part of the mixture into this bag and gather the edges tightly.
• Heat oil for deep frying in a kadhai. Once heated well, cut off the edge of the bag. Squeeze and cut off parts of the mixture as it drops into the hot oil to make small bites.
• Fry until the poppers turn golden and serve hot with ketchup, chilli sauce or cheesy dip.
