But within 10 mins after making, there was nothing left and people at home wished if there were some more.... Here is the recipe for you all.. Have a smacking evening...!!
Ingredients:
For the stuffing:
Potato(Boiled and roughly mashed) - 2 Cups
Onion (Sliced) - 1 Cup
Curry leaves - 2 sprigs
Green chilli (finely chopped) - 2 tsp

How to make:
1. Lets make the stuffing first. In a pan, heat oil and add the mustard and channa dhal.
2. Once the mustard starts crackling, add the green chilli, ginger and curry leaves. Add the sliced onion and saute till the onion turns transparent.
3. Add the turmeric powder, salt, asafoedita & saute for 2 mins. Now add the potato & blend well.
4. Saute for 2-3 mins and keep aside. The stuffing will look like this once cooked. Once it cools down, make round balls. The stuffing is ready now.
5. In a large bowl, add the besan flour, salt, chilli powder, asafoedita and mix well. Add the water slowly to make a thick batter. Its should be in coating consistency.
6. In the frying pan, heat oil for frying. Dip the potato balls in the besan batter and drop it in the hot oil. Fry untill it turns golden brown.
7. Serve it hot with coconut chutney... Nangalam apdiye sapiduvum ;-) .................
