Potato and Sooji Snack Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- ½ cup sooji (semolina/rava)
- ¼ cup curd (yogurt)
- 1–2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
- 1–2 green chilies, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Water, as needed
- Oil, for shallow frying
Prepare the Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine sooji and curd, and let it rest for 10 minutes to soften.
Add the mashed potatoes, green chilies, cumin seeds, chili powder, garam masala, and salt.
Mix well and add a little water (1–2 tablespoons at a time) if needed to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Stir in coriander leaves.
Shape the Snacks:
Grease your palms with oil and divide the mixture into small flattened discs or oval shapes.
You can also shape them like cutlets or mini tikkis.
Cook:
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place the shaped snacks on the pan and shallow fry until both sides are golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve:
Serve hot with green chutney, tomato ketchup, or mint yogurt dip for an irresistible snack experience.
Recipe Notes :
You can add grated carrots or finely chopped spinach for extra nutrition.
For crunchier texture, roll shaped snacks in dry sooji before frying.
Make a large batch and freeze uncooked snacks for quick frying later.
