3. I have already boiled the potatoes and mashed it coarsely and kept it aside. Add these coarsely
mashed potatoes to the pan and mix well
4. Then add turmeric powder, salt and mix well. To the pan, then add finely chopped coriander leaves
and mix everything well.
5. Our Potato filling is ready. Allow the filling to come to room temperature and make lemon sized balls
out of the filling and set it aside

Preparing Batter
1. Now, lets prepare out batter. In a mixing bowl, add besan flour, corn flour and turmeric powder and
mix well. Then add red chilli powder and salt and mix well.
2. Then add water little by little and mix well and make it like a bajji batter. The batter should not be too
thick or too thin. Heat oil in a pan. Just before you fry the dumplings, add a pinch of Bi Carbonate of
Soda and a tablespoon of hot oil and mix everything well. Adding soda salt should be at last, just
before frying the batata vada. If you plan to make these batata vada for guests, then prepare the
dumplings and also the batter without adding soda salt and hot oil and keep it ready. When the
guests arrive and they are ready to be treated, then heat the oil and add hot oil along with soda salt
and mix the batter .
3. Add each dumplings to the vada batter and nicely coat then with the batter using a fork. Fork will help
to have a nice coating than using our hand. Then using the fork itself, gently drop each coated
dumplings in the hot oil and fry them
4. Flip the batata vada on other side and fry them in medium flame till they are crispy and turn golden
brown outside. Remove the fried batata vada from oil and place them in paper towel to drain excess
oil.
