Notes
Take care that potatoes while boiling don't absorb excess water . If they do , after cooking place the potatoes on tissue paper so that excess water goes .
If you want you can add any other mixed veggies too .
You can either deep fry them or shallow fry them on tawa. Both taste equally good.But if you are doing in large quantity, better to deep fry as it gets over equally .
