Method

In a medium bowl, add besan, chilli powder, asafoetida, and carom seeds, salt with water. Then mix it well.

To avoid lump, you can grind it everything together in a mixer grinder. This batter should be too thin or thick. It should be in right consistency.

Cut the potato in a round shaped thin slices. I make the pieces as thin as possible to ensure even cooking but don't make they too thin otherwise they will lose their shape and crumble.

Then dip the potato pieces in mixture, so that it gets the coating on all sides.

Heat oil in a pan, when its hot deep fry this potato pieces and transferred into serving bowl.

You could use paper towel to remove excess oil from this bajji. The hot potato bajji is ready to serve.
