Batata Vada Recipe In Hindi (हिन्दी में पढ़े)
Batata Vada Recipe In Gujarati (ગુજરાતી માં વાંચો)
Ingredients
3 medium Potatoes, boiled
1/4 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
A pinch of Asafoetida
2 Green Chillies, chopped (or more to taste)
1/2 inch piece of Ginger, chopped
2 cloves of Garlic, chopped, optional
3-4 Curry Leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped Coriander Leaves
1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice or 1/2 teaspoon Dry Mango Powder, optional
1/2 cup Gram Flour (besan/ chickpea flour/ chana flour)
1/3 cup Water (or more)
A pinch of Baking Soda (soda bi carbonate)
2 teaspoons Oil + for deep frying
Salt to taste
Directions:
  1. step-1
    Have all the ingredients ready before starting to make vada. Make a paste of green chilli, ginger and garlic using mortar and pestle or in the small chutney jar of a mixer grinder.
  2. step-2
    Peel boiled potatoes and mash them with backside of a large spoon.
  3. step-3
    Heat 2-teaspoons oil in a small pan over medium flame. Add mustard seeds. When they start to crackle, add asafoetida, curry leaves and a paste of green chilli-ginger-garlic.
  4. step-4
    Stir and cook for a minute. Add turmeric powder and mix well.
  5. step-5
    Turn off the flame and transfer the prepared tempering over mashed potatoes. Add chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice and salt.
  6. step-6
    Mix well and taste for the lemon juice and salt. If required, add more lemon juice or salt.
  7. step-7
    Divide it into 9-10 equal portions. If mixture turns sticky, grease your hands with oil and make round shaped balls from it.
  8. step-8
    Prepare batter for vada – take gram flour, baking soda and salt in a wide mouthed bowl.
  9. step-9
    Add water (approx. 1/3 cup) little by little and stir continuously and make a lump free smooth batter. Consistency of the batter should be slightly thinner than dosa batter. If batter is too watery then add 1-2 teaspoons gram flour and if it is too thick then add little water and mix well.
  10. step-10
    Heat oil in a pan over medium flame for deep-frying. When oil is medium hot, dip each potato ball into batter and coat it evenly with hand or spoon and gently drop it into the hot oil. Drop 3-4 balls in a single batch and deep-fry them until light golden brown.
  11. step-11
    Drain excess oil using perforated spoon and transfer them over paper napkin on a plate. Deep-fry remaining balls. Batata Vada is now ready for serving. Serve hot with tea and green chutney / tomato ketch up.
Tips and Variations:
  • Mashed potato mixture will turn sticky if boiled potato has excessive moisture. If mashed potato has excess moisture, cook it in a non-stick pan until excess moisture evaporates. Transfer it to a bowl, let it cool for few minutes and then add tempering and mix properly.
  • Add 1/2-teaspoon cumin seeds and 1/4-teaspoon urad dal with mustard seeds for variation.
  • If you want to make them in large quantity, prepare the vadas in advance and deep fry them again at the time of serving for crispy outer layer.
Taste:  Crispy from outside and soft and spicy from inside
Serving Ideas:  Serve Batata Vada as a snack or side dish with green chilli and coriander chutney. It can also be served alone with tomato ketchup.

I have tried so many recipes for batata vadas over the years, but my family and I have never been satisfied with the outcome. Recently I came across your recipe and they turned out amazing. I have already made them thrice in the past two weeks!! Today I also tried your dry garlic chutney too. Thank you so much for sharing.
