Ingredients
4 Medium Potatoes -boiled, peeled and mashed
4 Cloves Garlic - minced
½" Piece Ginger - minced
2 Green Chilies
2 Tablespoon Coriander leaves
Salt to taste
For The Batter

1 Cup Besan
1 Tablespoon Rice flour
1 Tablespoon Semolina (Rawa)
½ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
½ Teaspoon Eno Fruit Salt
Water as required
Method

Mash the potatoes well. Grind the ginger, garlic, green chilies and coriander to a fine paste. Add it to the potatoes, salt to taste and mix well. Make small equal size balls and keep aside. See to it that they fit into the well of the appe pan.

Mix the ingredients of the batter and make a thick batter so that it can coat the vada's well. Add less salt in the batter, since the vada's already have salt, add 1 tsp oil into each well of the appe pan, let it heat up.

Dip the vadas into the batter and then drop it into the well of the pan.

Let it brown on the underside before you turn it. It should take about 5 minutes for the vada to be done perfectly. Keep turning, so that it cooks well on all sides. And when frying for the next batch, put some more oil in the wells, let it heat up and then add the rest of the vada's to cook.
