Potato Latkes

Latkes are shallow-fried pancakes of grated potatoes. All of the recipes which i came across were using eggs, i omitted eggs and added more flour. I also added green chillies, chilli powder, curry leaves and made these Indian Style Latkes.

Ingredients:

1 cup grated potato
1/4 cup onion chopped
2 green chillies
1/4 tsp chilli powder(add per your taste)
3 tbsp All Purpose Flour/Maida
1 tbsp rice powder
Pinch of Baking Powder
Few Curry leaves chopped
Salt as required
Oil for shallow frying

Method:

• In a bowl, mix potato with all the ingredients except oil.
• Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat, heat oil untill hot. Drop spoonfuls of potato mixture into the skillet, press to flatten. (Initially add only about 1 tbsp of oil and later add as needed. I used olive oil)
• Fry on each side for about 4 minutes, untill browned and crisp.
• Drain on paper towel. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
