Ingredients

  • 1 cup Maida (all-purpose flour) (heaped)
  • 1/2 cup Fine semolina (rava)
  • 4 Teaspoons Oil
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 kg Potato
  • 3 Tablespoons Chopped onion
  • 2 Teaspoons Finely chopped coriander leaves
  • 2 Teaspoons Ginger-green chili paste
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried mango powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Chili powder
  • 3/4 Teaspoon Garam masala powder
  • as needed Salt
  • Oil (as needed, for frying)
  • 2 Tablespoons Maida (all-purpose flour) (for the sealing paste)
  • 3 Tablespoons Water (for the sealing paste)

Instructions

  1. Mix the maida, rava, oil, and salt together in a wide bowl. Add water as needed and knead into a stiff chapati-like dough. Cover with a damp cloth.
  2. Boil the potato, peel, and crumble it. Mix in the remaining listed ingredients (no need to saute).
  3. Shape the mixture into lemon-sized balls, then roll each into a long log (like an oblong gulab jamun).
  4. Make small balls from the kneaded dough and roll each out like a chapati. Place a potato log at one edge and roll it up like a mat into a tube. Fold in the open ends and seal with the maida paste, sealing all sides securely so nothing leaks out.
  5. Shape all the dough this way and cover with a damp cloth. Deep-fry 4-5 rolls at a time in moderately hot oil until golden. Slice each into 3 or 4 pieces with a sharp knife and serve with tomato sauce.
