- 2 medium sized raw potatoes
- 1 cup semolina (rava)
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 cup water (a little more as needed)
- a pinch of asafoetida
- salt as per taste
- 1-2 green chillies (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp green coriander
- ½ tsp red chili powder or chili flakes
- oil for frying
Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes
First of all, wash, peel 2 potatoes and grate them with a medium sided grater. Now put these strands in a sieve and wash them thoroughly with water 2-3 times. This step is very important because it removes all the starch from the potato. If starch remains, the snack will become sticky and spoil quickly. Now drain out all the water from these sticks and keep them aside.
Step 2: Parboil the potatoes
Now place a pan on gas and add one teaspoon oil in it. When the oil becomes hot, add a pinch of asafoetida in it. Adding asafoetida not only adds fragrance to breakfast but also helps in digestion. Now add one cup of water and let it boil. Add grated potatoes to boiling water and add a little salt. Cover and let it cook for 2 minutes so that the potatoes become a little soft.
Third step: Preparing batter by mixing semolina
Now slow down the gas and add one cup of semolina in it. Keep stirring continuously so that lumps do not form. When the mixture starts becoming slightly thick, add finely chopped green chillies, coriander and if desired also red chilli powder. Stir it until it becomes dough-like consistency. Switch off the gas and cover it and leave it for 2 minutes. During this time the semolina will swell and the mixture will become even better.
Step 4: Setting and cutting the mixture
Now take out this prepared mixture in a big plate or tray. Spread it well so that it remains of uniform thickness. Now keep it at room temperature or in the refrigerator and let it set for 30-40 minutes. When it hardens and cools down, with the help of a knife, cut it into desired shapes like square, triangle or finger shape. If you want, you can fill it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.
Whenever you want to eat, just take out a few pieces from the fridge. Heat oil in a pan and fry the pieces until they turn golden brown on both sides. These snacks will be completely crispy from outside and slightly soft from inside. While frying, keep the gas flame medium so that it cooks evenly.
Serving Suggestion
Crispy potato-semolina breakfast is ready. You can serve it with green chutney, tomato ketchup or chili sauce. These snacks also taste good with tea and can also be kept in children’s lunch boxes.
