Aloo Papad |
Aloo/Potato - 3 medium size
Salt to taste - around 3/4 tsp
Red chilly flakes - 1 tsp
Jeera/Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Method
Wash and boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker till soft.
Cool & peel the skin,now finely grate the boiled potato make sure there are no lumps.I got around 3 cups of mashed potato.
Take a bowl add the grated potato,red chilly flakes,salt & jeera,Mix well to make sure everything is well combined.Divide the portion into 22 small balls.
Take a plastic sheet grease it with oil place a potato ball keep another sheet on top & gently roll it out to a thin papad.
Remove this & place it on a big plastic sheet & dry it in sun for 2 to 3 days or till they are completely crisp dry.After one day i turned all the papad other side.
Store it in a container & deep fry in oil when needed.
Note:
a) If you don't have a grater then use your palm to mash the potato.Make sure there are no lumps then rolling will be difficult.
b) Chopped coriander leaves can also be added to the mixture.
c) Do not cut & then boil that way the potatoes will absorb too much water.
