Method
- Boil the potatoes and mash
- Add chopped onions to mashed potato
- Once this is done, mix all the spices, seeds and fresh coriander to the mashed potatoes and set aside.
- Place oil in a deep frying pan/ wok and put on a medium heat.
- For the batter, place all the gram flour into a bowl and slowly add water little by little and continuously stir until you get a nice thick batter mixture which will be used to coat the potato dumplings.
- With the potato mixture start shaping the dumplings into small round balls.
- Dip the dumplings into the batter until it is fully coated
- Test the temperature of the oil by placing one dumpling first and then fry it until crisp and golden.
- Add a few more dumplings and continue frying until all dumplings have been fried. (it should take approx. 2-3 minutes to fry a batch of dumplings).
- Serve with a sauce/chutney of your choice however I would recommend Mint Sauce.
