Batatyachi kape

   Shallow fried potato slices

Batata Bhaji is deep fried version of batatyachi kape. For batata bhaji, potato slices are thin and are dipped in the wet batter of gram flour. While making batatyachi kape, the slices are slightly thick and dry rice flour is used for coating. I generally make this as a side with mugachya daLichi khichdi with karmane.

Ingredients
2 potatoes ( washed and sliced with medium thickness)
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
rice flour as required

Method

• Apply chili powder and turmeric powder to the potato slices. Apply salt.
• Heat griddle/non-stick pan/tawa on medium flame. Arrange the slices by dipping each one in the dry rice flour.
• Drip oil with spoon from the rim of the griddle . Cover the griddle with lid . Let the slices cook on medium flame.
• Check after 1-2 minutes by pricking one or two slices with a fork/knife.
• When done turn the sides of the slices. Drip little oil from the sides and let it turn to golden brown.
• Serve hot as a side or as a snack.
