minute until the raw smell goes away. Add in the turmeric, salt and the mashed #
potato. Mix well until well cooked, check for salt, add lemon juice and let this cool
down completely.
3. Once the potato filling is cooled. Divide into 8-10 parts and roll into balls, flatten
and set aside on a plate. Heat the oil for frying, mix the batter - gram flour, salt,
red chilli, hing, chaat masala, baking soda, water ( as required) similar to dosa
