Instructions

1) Wash potatoes and boil in pressure cooker for only 1 whistle, let the pressure come down.

3) Add all the spices in the above potato mixture .

                            

4) To this add 1 tsp of cornflour, if you feel your potato dough too smooth add 2 tsp of corn flour. Also add 1/2 portion of bread crumbs to it and  mix everything well. Remember dough should not be too smooth, then only you will get crispy potato balls.

Tips

** First point to remember is do not boil potatoes for more whistles (or) do not overcook potatoes. It will make your dough smooth, sticky and that lead to soggy potato balls when fried.

** As lemon is not available in my pantry, i did not added. Add lemon juice if available.

** You can also add garam masala and can also skip spices if not available.

** Apply oil to your hands while molding potato balls.

** If cornflour not available add maida. You can also add besan but it will give potato bonda taste.

** If you feel your dough too smooth, keep it in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Dough will become hard.

** You can also double coat in bread crumbs, if you feel ur potato balls are so sticky.

** If you are potato balls are smooth it will break while frying it  or it will become smooth after cooking.

** If potato balls do not change shape after coating bread crumbs then it is perfect otherwise double coat it. Just dip crumbs coated potato balls again in corn flour slurry and then in 

bread crumbs.

** Do not over fry potato balls, they burn quickly, just take it out when it changing color.

** If your potato balls are smooth then you will get smooth potato balls instead of crispy.

** You can serve as it is or you can insert picks in it.

** You can store bread crumbs coated potato balls in freezer for more than 15 days, if we store it in air tight zip lock covers.

** You you are planning to serve it  in parties, then keep bread crumbs coated potato balls in refrigerator, and fry before serving and enjoy it.
