Potato Bajji or Batate Ambade is a simple snack, which can also be eaten with Pav i.e Vada pav.
In kananda we call potato as 'batate' and vada as 'Ambade'. Its called 'Ambade' because of is round shape. This is one of the famous snack of my home town 'Mangalore'. I like this snack very much. When i was in college i used to have it in our college canteen.. Yummy.. I used to tell that canteen aunty to keep atleast one in my name. :).. it was fun.. Those were the best days of our life.
Last week our small Indian group had a potluck.My recipe was wada so made this Ambode and capsicum bajji. All liked it... :) I like to share one more thing. My husband liked it very much and he wanted me to prepare this Batate Ombode for his 'Office Potluck' also.
So here is the recipe.. Enjoy it.. I made 25 - 30 Ambade. Here the recipe is for around 10 Ambade.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup gram flour (besan)
1/2 tsp red chilly powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp baking soda or soda bicarbonate
oil for deep frying
salt
Filling
4-5 medium sized potatoes boiled and smashed
1 tbsp ginger grated
1 tbsp garlic grated
4-5 (or more) green chilies
4 - 5 tbsp coriander leaves (chopped)
salt
For tempering
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 tsp oil
curry leaves
Method
1. In a large bowl add gram flour,chilly powder, turmeric powder, salt, baking soda mix it and add water to get the pakoda batter. The batter should be thicker than the usual pakoda batter. Because how thick the batter is that soft an fuffy an thick the outer cover will be.
2. Keep aside tha batter for 15 - 20 minutes.
3. Mean while we can make the filling for ombode. In a pan add oil an add the tempering ingrediants.
4. To that tempering add the ginger and garlic garted. let it fry for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the smashed potatoes. Take away the heat.
6. At last add the chopped coriender and make small balls.
7. Now dip these small balls in the batter and deep fry them in the oil.
8. Batate Ambode is ready to be served.
