Potato - 3 medium sized
Cashews - 6 whole
Raisins - 10
Powdered Sugar - 2 tbsp
Cardamom powder - a pinch(optional)
Salt - for taste
Oil - for deep frying
Method:
- Peel off the skin of potatoes.Grate it using a grater in batches and fry it in preheated oil.Use a big holed grater.
- Fry till golden , don't let it brown it.Drain in tissue paper.Likewise grate and deep fry the rest of the potatoes too.Set aside.
- Then fry raisins till golden, then fry cashews till golden brown.Collect it in a bowl and set aside.
- Now take fried potato mixture in a bowl, add salt and powdered sugar.
- Add cardamom powder,nuts,raisins and give a quick mix.
My Notes:
- Always grate in small batches and at once fry in oil else the color of the potatoes will change.
- Use a big hole grater for best results.If you use a smaller one, while frying it gets browned easily.
- Adding salt is optional but I recommend adding it.
