Spiced Potato Fritters with Ketchup Dip

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and grate the 500g potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, 120g gram flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garam masala, and 1 tsp chili powder. Mix well to form a thick batter. If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it holds together.

3. 3

   Heat 40ml vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

4. 4

   Scoop small portions of the potato mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) and flatten them slightly to form fritters.

5. 5

   Carefully place the fritters in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches if necessary, avoiding overcrowding the pan.

6. 6

   Remove the fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve the spiced potato fritters hot with 4 tbsp ketchup as a dip.
