Recipe
1
Heat a small pan, dry roast fennel and cumin seeds lightly, then crush them coarsely.
2
In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes with the crushed spices, coriander powder, amchur, turmeric, and salt.
3
Make a vertical slit in each green chili, remove the seeds carefully if less spice is desired, and stuff them generously with the potato mixture.
4
In a separate mixing bowl, combine gram flour, salt, asafoetida, and hot oil, adding water gradually to make a smooth, thick coating batter.
5
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium flame.
6
Dip each stuffed chili completely into the gram flour batter to coat evenly, then gently drop it into the hot oil.
7
Fry on medium heat until the fritters turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, then drain on paper towels.
8
Serve hot with green mint chutney and sweet tamarind chutney.
