Ingredients
3 large Potato
1 cup Peanuts
10 piece Cashew Nuts
10 piece Almonds
2 Green Chilli (chopped)
10 Curry Leaves
1 tsp Rock Salt
2 tsp Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Black Pepper Powder
For deep frying Vegetable Oil
Instructions
1
Peel the potatoes and grate them into thick "lachha" (straws) using a wide-holed grater directly into a bowl of cold water.
2
Rinse the grated potatoes 3–4 times in fresh water until the water runs clear. This removes the starch and ensures crispiness.
3
Drain the potatoes completely and spread them on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry to remove all surface moisture before frying.
4
Heat oil in a kadai on medium-high. Fry the potato straws in small batches until they turn golden and crispy. Drain on absorbent paper.
5
In the same oil, deep-fry the peanuts, cashews, and almonds until golden. Quickly fry the green chillies and curry leaves until crisp.
6
While the fried ingredients are still slightly warm, transfer everything to a large bowl. Sprinkle Sendha namak, powdered sugar, and black pepper.
7
Toss gently to coat evenly. Let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
