Spicy Viral Potato Dumplings
Make these delicious viral potato dumplings that look good and also taste good! Uses a few pantry staples and is super fun to whip up.
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes 5-6 medium
- 1 cup Gram flour/Besan sub with chickpea flour
- 4 tsp oil
- 1 tbsp Panch Phoron (equal quantities of fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and nigella seeds)
- 3 cloves Garlic chopped finely
- 1 tsp Red chilli powder sub with paprika if you don't like heat
- ½ tsp Asafoetida/hing
- Chopped coriander optional
Instructions
- Peel and chop the potatoes into 1/2 inch pieces. Boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes.
- Remove and press them through a metal sieve with the help of a wooden spatula. Make sure the potatoes are hot when you are doing this to help them pass through the sieve better.
- Once all the potatoes are passed through, you will get a lump-free potato mash. Add gram flour , a teaspoon of salt and mix well. Knead this into a pliable dough. It won't be super tight and might even be a bit crumbly, but don't panic. It's just eh lack of gluten and once you start shaping the dumplings, its all going to work out.
- Wet your hands and break off a lime sized ball. Form it into a desired shape, I went for the viral mushroom look. Oil the mouth of a glass bottle and press it into the ball gently to form the shape.
- Take a pan and bring enough water to a boil. Add a tbsp of salt to it. Add the potato dumplings to this and boil for about 2 minutes Take them out with a. slotted spoon immediately and let them drain (any longer and they will turn soggy).
- Now take a wok/pan and add a 4 tbsp oil to it and heat it on medium-high flame.
- Add a tbsp of Panch Phoron to this. Let the seeds pop and turn golden brown in colour.
- Now add the chopped garlic to this and cook until they turn golden, but not brown!
- Then, add the red chili powder, asafoetida/hing to this, and let sizzle for a few seconds.
- Now add the potato dumplings and mix gently with a spatula. Let the spice mix coat the dumplings.
- Turn off the heat and add chopped coriander to this. Also, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top.
- Serve hot!
