Golden Potato Slices
These are usually served with a chutney. A good choice is Cilantro Chutney.
4 medium potatoes
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 egg
Vegetable oil
Salt
Cilantro Chutney
Heat 1 inch salted water (1/2 teaspoons salt to 1 cup water) to boiling. Add potatoes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; cool.
Mix flour, the 1/2 cup water, salt, turmeric, red pepper and egg with fork until smooth. Cover and let stand 30 minutes.
Heat 1 to 1 1/2 inches oil to 375 degrees F.
Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Dip potato slices into batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into bowl. Fry a few potato slices at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon. Drain; sprinkle with salt.
