Thin Potato Bhajis/ Maru Bhajia
Today, I am going to post a recipe that is a delicious starter snack. It is basically potato bhajis but very thin ones covered in a thin batter made of spicy, chickpea flour.
2. Mix all the ingredients well to create a batter.
3. Heat some oil in a pan ready for deep frying.
4. Coat the potato slices one by one and place into the hot oil one after the other. Only put in 4 slices at a time so that you can control the rate at which the potato slices fry. Cook until the batter turns golden brown in the oil and remove quickly into a plate with kitchen roll on it to drain off the excess oil.
5. Repeat stage 4 until all the potato slices have been coated in batter and deep fried until golden brown.
6. Once the excess oil has been drained off, place the potato bhajis in another plate and season the slices with freshly ground black pepper. You may also want to squeeze fresh lemon juice on top.
7. These are now ready to serve and eat.
So there you have it; delicious Maru Bhajia or thinly sliced, potato bhajis.
'Til next time ... enjoy!
