Tater Tots - SouthIndian version

Hello everyone,

Here I am with a post on one of the yummiest recipes of potato.

This is called 'Tater Tots' and I stumbled upon this at https://damndelicious.net/2015/04/10/homemade-tater-tots/ when I was googling for an interesting recipe using potato as main ingredient.

I adopted the recipe in the above given link and made few changes to make it a South-Indian version. Below are the details.

Ingredients I used:

1. Large potatoes - 3
2. Finely shopped Garlic cloves - 1 tablespoon
3. Finely chopped large Onion - 3 tablespoons
4. Finely chopped Ginger - 1 tablespoon
5. Asafoetida - a pinch
6. All-purpose flour - 1 tablespoon
7. Rice flour - 1 tablespoon
8. Dill - 1/4 teaspoon
9. Chopped fresh Coriander and Curry leaves - 2 tablespoons
10. Black pepper powder - 1.5 teaspoons
11. Salt - as per taste
12. Oil for frying

Method of Preparation:

1. Wash and peel the potatoes.
2. Cut them into halves, place them in a large pan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring this to boil for about 5 minutes.
3. Drain the water and let the potatoes cool.
4. Grate the potatoes using a grater.
5. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a clean cloth to remove as much water as possible.
6. Add the items from 2 to 11 in the Ingredients list and mix well.
7. Make the mixture into smaller portions and shape each portion into tots (small oval shaped).
8. Heat oil in a kadai or a post over medium heat.
9. Add the tots, 5 or 6 at a time; Cook until it is golden and crispy.
10. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate/ container.
11. Serve immediately.
12. Optional - Use tomato sauce or ketch-up for accompaniment.
