Crispy Potato and Onion Fritters

1.Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes and finely chopped onion.

3.Add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cumin powder, paprika, turmeric powder, chili powder, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed and form a thick batter.

4.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

5.Once the oil is hot, take a tablespoon of the batter and carefully drop it into the oil. Flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a fritter. Repeat this process, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

6.Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them over gently.

7.Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8.Serve the crispy potato and onion fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
