Ingredients
Main Ingredients
2 cups thin potato fingers
1 tsp alum (phitkari)
salt to taste
oil for deep-frying
Method
Tie the alum at one corner of the muslin cloth and keep aside.
Heat 5 cups of water in a deep non-stick pan and bring it to boil. Put the potato fingers in the hot water and immerse the muslin cloth tied with alum in the water for 1 minute.
Remove the muslin cloth, add salt to it and mix well. Allow the potato finger to cook on a medium flame for 8 minutes or till the potato fingers are 80% cooked, while stirring occasionally.
Strain the potato fingers using a strainer and drain out all the excess water.
Spread the potato fingers on a large steel plate, cover it well with a dry muslin cloth and keep it in the sun to dry for 8 to 9 hours.
Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, put half the dried potato fingers in it and deep-fry on a medium flame till they turn crisp and light brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Repeat step 6 to deep-fry the remaining potato fingers in 1 more batch.
Cool completely and serve or store in an air-tight container and use as required.
