Potato Cheese & Capers Poppers
These are perfect party poppers and so apt for the approaching festive season. When the home is flooded with guests during the festivities, this can be made so quick. Loved by adults and kids both, this is a wonderful and easy snack option.
How to make this?
Boil 5-6 potatoes. Peel them and mash them. Let it cool down. Mix in 1 tbsp red chilli flakes, salt to taste, 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves and 1 tbsp garlic granules (I used the Crunchy Garlic from SnapIn). Use fresh garlic if crunchy garlic is not available. Taste the potato mix and adjust the flavours as desired. Dice cut 2-3 cheese cubes and finely chop 6-7 toasted walnuts and keep aside.
In a bowl mix 2 tbsp all purpose flour and 1 tbsp cornflour with 1/2 cup water and make into a slurry. Keep around 2 tbsp dry all purpose flour in another bowl. Also keep Panko breadcrumbs in a plate.
Take a spoonful of potato mix and flatten it. Keep a cheese dice, a few cut tiny walnut pieces and a couple caper pieces in the centre and roll the potato mix into a ball. Roll the potato in the dry all purpose flour and then in the slurry. Roll them in the Panko and deep fry until golden brown for medium flame. *I deep fry these in cold pressed groundnut oil.
Serve with mint chutney & date and tamarind chutney.
Enjoy!!!
