Shopping list:

• 2 cups of refined flour – 250 grams
• Salt to taste
• Oil- 300 mil for frying
• Hot oil -20 ml for preparing the dough.
• Water ½ liter to knead the dough
• Carom seeds – 1 gram
• Cumin seeds -1 gram
• Potatoes -200 grams
• Red chili powder – 2 grams (adjust according to taste). You also use red chili flakes or green chili.
• Turmeric powder -1 gram
• Garam Masala

Preparation:

The filling

• Boil the potatoes until they are perfectly cooked and soft inside.
• Peel, mash potatoes and add salt then mix well.
• In a frying pan take some oil and heat it.
• Add the cumin, carom seeds and green chilies (if you are using them) in the oil and let it cook for about ½ minute.
• Take it off the heat and add the Garam masala, red chili powder and turmeric powder to it. The heat in the oil will cook the spices.
• Pour the oil mix on the mashed potatoes and mix it well.
• Brush 2 drops of oil on your palm and roll the potato mix into balls.
• Cover and keep aside

The dough

• Take the flour in a dish and add the hot oil to its center. Adding the oil will make the fry bread crispier and it will absorb less oil.
• Mix oil, flour and salt to get a crumbly mix. Keep it aside for 15minutes.
• Add water to the dough and knead a slightly hard dough. Don’t allow it be too wet otherwise it will be hard to fry.
• Cut the dough in small balls and roll out the dough using a rolling pin. If you find it difficult to roll then brush 2-3 drops of oil to prevent it from sticking.

To fry

• Put a scoop off potato mash into the middle of the rolled out dough and cover from all sides to make a ball.
• Roll out the ball lightly to ¼ inch of thickness.
• In a deep fry pan heat the oil to a smoking point and turn down the heat.
• Put the rolled out patty in the oil one at a time and fry until golden brown on both sides.
• Serve hot with tomato chutney or a thick gravy. You can cut it in stripes and serve with your favourite dip too.
