Ingredients
- ¼ kg Potato
- Chilli powder (the source lists this as '¾ kg', which appears to be a printing error — dust on to taste)
- 350 grams Dalda (vanaspati) (for frying)
- தேவைக்கேற்ற அளவு Salt
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes well and peel them. Slice into thin rounds. Wash again well in clean water and spread the slices out one by one on a white cloth — this lets the cloth absorb the moisture from the potato.
- Heat a pan on the stove, pour in the Dalda, add the potato rounds, and once golden, strain them out with a slotted ladle onto a plate.
- Mix chilli powder with the required salt and dust it over the potato chips, then store in an airtight container. If left open, they will lose their crispness.
- Enjoy as an evening snack, or serve alongside a meal.
