Ingredients

  • 2 large yukon gold potatoes
  • 12 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
  • 14 cup all-purpose flour
  • 12 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 18 teaspoon cayenne
  • 14 cup finely minced scallion
  • 12 cup regular yogurt or 12 cup soy yogurt
  • 14 cup water, about
  • peanut oil (for frying)

Method

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, boil the potatoes in salted water to cover until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Drain and allow to cool, then cut the potatoes into 1/4"-thick slices and set aside.
  • Toast the mustard seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they pop.
  • Remove from the heat and place in a medium-sized bowl, along with both flours, the salt, and cayenne.
  • Stir in the scallions, yogurt and as much water as needed to achieve a smooth batter.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • In batches, add the potato slices to the batter to coat, then let any excess drip off and place them in the hot oil.
  • Do not crowd the pan.
  • Cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to paper towels to drain and serve hot.
  • For vegan use soy yogurt.
