5 easy steps to make perfect Batata Vada at home

Prepare the Potato Filling: Boil and mash potatoes. Sauté mustard seeds, curry leaves, and spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger-garlic paste. Add mashed potatoes, mix well, and let the filling cool.

Make the Batter: Prepare a thick batter by mixing gram flour (besan), turmeric, salt, and a pinch of baking soda with water until smooth.

Shape the Vadas: Once the filling cools, shape it into small balls.

Coat and Fry: Dip each potato ball in the gram flour batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden and crispy.

Serve Hot: Enjoy the crispy batata vadas with chutney or in a pav for a delicious snack.
