Ingredients

Potato – 1 (medium size. Thin sliced)
Gram Flour – 1 cup
Asafoetida – 1/2 teaspoon
Chilli powder – 1 1/2 teaspoon
Rice flour – 2 teaspoon
Baking soda – 1 pinch
salt – to taste
Oil – for frying

Preparation Method

Take gram flour in a bowl. Add asafoetida, chilli powder, salt, baking soda and rice flour to it.

2. Mix it well. Add water little by little. The batter should be in dosa batter consistency. That is, the batter should not be too thick or too thin in consistency. Batter should not have lumps and must be smooth in texture.

3. Take the potato and slice it thin. Put the sliced potatoes in water. So it will remove the starch from potato.

4. Heat oil in a kadai. Take one piece of potato and dip both sides of it in the batter.

5. Drop it carefully in the hot oil. Flip over to other side once bajji puffs and the colour of the bajji changes. Cooking time for one bajji takes approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
