Pakistani Spiced Fried Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 1/2 cups gram flour (chickpea flour)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water, or as needed
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
Instructions
1
Preheat the deep-fryer or large saucepan to a high temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Combine gram flour, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin seeds, and baking powder in a bowl and whisk them together until well-mixed. Gradually add lukewarm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously and adding it 1/2 cup at a time until you achieve a thick pancake-like batter consistency.
3
Dip the potato slices into the prepared batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
4
Cook the coated potatoes in hot oil in batches, turning them occasionally until they turn golden and crispy, taking around 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oil and place them on a paper-towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
