Bataka vada -- Amdavadi style


Anyone who has visited Ahmedbad will agree with me for bataka vada speciality. Just imagining that yellow crispy crust with potato masala in there, simply brings water in my mouth. Alongwith that some fried chillies, yellow chatni and some onion ...oh, I am feeling a strong urge to eat that right away. It is just simple potato ball , but the way it is prepared it is just awesome..
I tried to make same one at my place and I got the right taste of it...I cant stop eating it. Here is the recipe for it:

Ingredients:
Potato masala

3 big boiled potatos
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp grated ginger
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
2 tsp green chilli and corriander paste

1 cup besan (lentil flour)
1 tbsp sooji (rava or semilona )

Then add turmeric powder, salt, grated ginger, green chilli-corriander paste.
