1/2-1/3cupice cold water (+/- few tablespoons as needed)
Instructions
Wash your potatoes, then put them in a small pot, fill water to about an inch above the potatoes, add in salt, set heat to medium and start boiling.
Batter
Sift your besan and corn starch to get rid of any lumps, then add in the rest of your ingredients (except water)
Pour in chilled water bit by bit and whisk until you get to a thick-ish consistency. Then let it rest for 20 minutes while you prep the filling.
Filling
Insert a fork into your potato to check if they're tender. The fork should go in fully without much resistance. Do not overboil.
Peel the potatoes while they're still hot, then put them in a bowl and mash.
Add in the rest of your ingredients, mash everything together very well.
Give it a taste and add more salt if needed. Mix well.
Forming the patties
Then use a quarter cup scoop to portion out your chops
Form balls in the palm of your hand, then flatten to make the patties.
Frying
Heat your oil on medium high. Check if it’s hot enough by dropping in some batter. It should drop and float up in a second.
Place your patties in the batter one by one, flip and cover all sides
Wipe off the excess on the side of the bowl, and gently place them into the oil. You can use your hands or a fork for this.
Flip them over as soon as possible, then let them fry for just a few minutes, until nice and golden brown on both sides, flipping a couple times as needed.
Strain on a wire rack or some paper towels, and serve while they're still hot and crispy!
