• Add the potatoes, salt to taste and coriander leaves.
• You can add some lemon juice (optional).
• Mix it for 5 minutes, remove from heat and let it cool.
• For batter - Add besan in a bowl, 2 tbsp oil, salt, chili powder, salt to taste and add water.Ensure the consistency is medium thick, we need to use this batter to coat for frying.
