Crispy Crunchy Vegan Cheat Fries#SundayFunday

There is a saying.. looks can be deceptive! French fries? No these are cheat fries made from mashed potatoes a & fine semolina!! This is my take on the trending cheats version of French fries.

Ingredients
½ Cup Heaped boiled and mashed Potatoes
1 Cup Fine Rawa / Semolina
1¼ Cup Water
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ Teaspoon Black pepper powder

Method

Heat the water in a pan, when it comes to a boil, add the rawa, keep stirring till it gathers together and becomes a thick mass. Switch off the flame. Leave it to cool.
Add the mashed potatoes to the cooled mixture in it along with seasonings. This is a sticky dough so slightly wet your hand and knead it to a smooth dough. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 to 20 minutes, for it to chill and set well.

Now roll it on an oiled platform and cut into finger sized pieces.

Roll them in rice flour, dust all the excess flour.

Heat oil in for shallow frying broad pan . Shallow fry in hot oil till golden on all sides.

Serve hot with ketchup.

Enjoy these great crispy, crunchy party pleasers.

My Notes

You can prepare these fries well in advance and refrigerate them for 3 -4 days. When required, do not defrost, fry them in hot oil on medium high flame. These can also be frozen. They freeze well.
