Spicy Potato and Onion Fritters

1In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes (2 large), chopped onion (1 medium), and green chillies (2).

2Add the turmeric powder (1 teaspoon), red chilli powder (1 teaspoon), and salt (1 teaspoon) to the mixture. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

3Gradually add the besan to the mixture, stirring continuously. The besan will help bind the ingredients together.

4Add water little by little until the mixture reaches a thick batter-like consistency. It should be moist but not too runny.

5Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of the batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

6Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

7Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.

8Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

9Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
