Fasting days come with a lot of dietary restrictions, but if you're having a craving for snack foods, this farali recipe could be the solution. Made with amaranth flour, these delicious treats are perfect for kids and can be easily made at home.
Ingredients
2 big-sized potatoes 1 cup rajgira flour 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder 1 finely chopped green chilli 1 teaspoon grated ginger ½ cup finely chopped green coriander Rock salt to taste Approximately ¾ cup + 3 tablespoons water (for making batter) Oil for deep frying
Step 1
Start by peeling and cleaning the potatoes. Cut them into slices, either using a knife or a french fries cutter.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the rajgira flour, arrowroot powder, grated ginger, chopped green chilli, and finely chopped green coriander. Mix these ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until you achieve a thick batter consistency. Adjust the salt to your taste.
Step 4
Dip the potato slices into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated. Heat oil in a deep frying pan if frying, or preheat an air fryer.
Step 5
Carefully place the coated potato slices into the hot oil or into the air fryer. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crisp. This usually takes a few minutes.
Step 6
Once fried, remove the potato slices from the oil and place them on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil. Enjoy hot!
