Pan-fried Sweet Potato

Pan-fried Sweet Potato - Nandita Pai Shirali

Ingredients:
Sweet Potatoes - 2 medium
Red chilly powder - 2 tbsp
Hing/Asafoetida - 1/2 tsp
Gram Flour - 1 tbsp
Cumin Powder - 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Rice flour - as required
Oil - 1-2 tbsp
Water - a little
Method:
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and keep them dipped in water to prevent browning.
Cut into even sized, thin round slices and put the slices back into the water.
After all the slicing is completed, drain out the water and sprinkle all the spices and powder mixes except the rice flour.
Sprinkle a dash of water just enough to bring all the powders and sweet potato slices together. Do not add to much water! Toss the bowl so as to coat all the slices evenly.
Allow the marinated potatoes to sit for about 10-15 minutes.
Take the rice flour in a small plate and set aside.
Place a flat pan on the stove and drizzle about 1-2 tbsp of oil in it.
Now, pick each marinated potato slice, dip in the rice flour so that both the sides are coated with the flour and then place them in the pan.
After placing all the slices in the pan, sprinkle a dash of water into the pan. Keep the flame on high and cover with a lid.Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flip over the side and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the slices off the stove and place them on a tissue paper. the phodis are ready to be yummied! :) Have them as is, o along with ice and dal. Either way, they are simple and yum!
