Ingredients

• 4 boiled potatoes coarsely mashed
• 1/2 onion finely chopped
• 2 tsp grated ginger
• 1.5 tsp grated garlic
• 1/2 or 3 tbsp grated beet root
• Handful of crushed groundnuts
• 1 tsp each of roasted cumin powder, roasted coriander, red chilli powder, chat masala
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tbsp mustard oil
• Salt as per taste
• 1 tsp ajwain seeds
• Besan

Process

• In a pan, add the mustard oil and lightly saute the onions. Lower the flame.
• Once done, add the grated ginger and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the cumin, coriander, red chilli powder, turmeric, salt and chat masala and saute for another minute.
• Add the grated beet root and ground nuts and mix well.
• After 2 minutes or so, add the mashed potato and mix well so the beet root is well mixed with the potatoes.
• Cool the mixture and make small balls/patties out of it.
• For the batter, mix besan, salt, ajwain seeds in water, a pinch of baking powder and make a thick batter. It should be thick enough to coat the aloo balls/patties.
• Dip the balls/patties in this besan mixture and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden crispy.

Enjoy with a green chutney (pudina, green coriander, 2-3 garlic cloves, imli, salt ground to a paste), ghuguni, kancha lanka, mudhi etc
