Incorporating a bit of oil into the batter ensures the coating becomes golden and crispy. It also adds flavour, making it super delicious.

Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes. This will help bind the ingredients together well and enhance the texture of the batata vada.

After boiling the potatoes, allow them to cool completely before mashing. This prevents them from being too sticky.

Pounding the spices, herbs, and chillies releases their flavours. By doing so, your batata vada will turn out even more flavourful.
