food slicer

wash the potatoes and place them on a towel and cover them with with a towel or paper towels to drain all the water.

In a bowl, mix the flour (sift to remove lumps), salt (to taste), food colour (a pinch), chopped parsley and roasted cummin seeds (2 table spoons). Add a cup of water gradually to your desired thickness. But i like my batter slightly thick

Lets Cook.
Add cooking oil in a deep frying pan, wait for the oil to heat up (u can also add drops of batter, if they come to the surface,the oil is ready).

(In the meantime) In a bigger bowl, on one side add the batter and a  handful of the dry potatoes on the other side. Take a small amount of batter and add on the potatoes and mix them well. 
Make sure all the potatoes have been coated with the batter.

Add one by one in to the pan. if the bhajia's start browning, reduce the heat. They are normally ready after 8-10 mins or until brown.

Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process.

a great accompaniment will be guacamole.
