  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1 tsp chopped green chilli
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp bhaja moshla see recipe link in the text
  • 6-8 bread slices
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Boil 4-5 nos potatoes and peel the skin and set them aside.
  • In a frying pan, heat 1-2 tsp of mustard oil and add 1 tsp of chopped ginger and 1 tsp of chopped garlic.
  • After 8-10 seconds, add 1 large onion finely chopped.
  • Sauté these till the onions have softened and all the raw smell from the garlic has also gone.
  • Sauté these till the onions have softened and all the raw smell from the garlic has also gone.
  • Stir this for a couple of minutes and then take this off the heat and transfer to a bowl. Mash this with the back of a spoon in a smooth dough and let it cool down too.
  • Now cut the edges of the bread slices. Take one slice and dip it in a bowl of water and instantly take it out or else the bread will disintegrate and fall in the water.
  • Squeeze out the excess water by pressing both your palms and then add a small lemon size ball of the potato mix in the center.
  • Cover it with the bread and smoothen and seal the edges. Since the bread is wet, you can easily do this.
  • Now you can simply fry this or coat it with bread crumb and then deep fry. Personally, I think it holds a better shape and takes in less oil when coated with bread crumbs.
  • Deep fry till golden brown and take it out on a paper towel. Serve with ketchup or a dip of your choice
